2024 Development Dinner

We loved connecting with you at the 2024 Development Dinner! You opened your hearts and minds to the experiences of our speakers, embraced the symbolism of our paper dolls circling the globe (and the room!). You overbid on silent auction items and you gave generously so that others could enrich their own connections with education, clean water, and cultures. You left wearing smiles and friendship bracelets, and we were left feeling grateful and fortunate to be connected to a community of people sharing beautiful energy and abundant kindness.

Thank you for your generous support. Over one hundred thousand dollars was raised by those in attendance and by those who sadly (albeit generously!) sent their regrets. We hope you feel connected to the important work you are supporting. Together, we connected students to the world through technology in classrooms, connected communities with safe water, and connected future generations to cultural preservation.

Connection happens when we come together.
If there was ever any doubt, the Development Dinner undeniably shows us that this is so.

On behalf of the Change for Children team and our special guests, please accept our heartfelt gratitude for your support. We are moved and encouraged by the power of this community coming together. On behalf of those we serve, please accept deep gratitude for your respect and solidarity and generosity and connection.

We loved seeing your smiles! To find yours, visit the event photo gallery!
