There are many significant reasons for why the Gala is important for Giant Steps. The Gala provides our families and supporters a time to get together to enjoy an evening of joy and to be part of helping Giant Steps create a hopeful future for our students and young adults.
The evening of fun is not only built on good will, but on raising the much needed funds to serve our students and our participants to create a future that is purposeful and leads them to a happy life!
