Why 2027 Is Different

"

When we decided not to hold a Gala in 2026, it was not a difficult decision — it was a deliberate one. We looked at the calendar, saw that our 20th anniversary was just one year away, and asked ourselves: what would it look like to do this right?

Angels Against Abuse was founded in 2007 with a single purpose — to make sure that every child who passed through the foster care system in Pinellas County knew they were seen, valued, and loved. Two decades later, that mission has grown into ten programs, hundreds of children served every year, and a community of donors, volunteers, and partners who show up time and time again.

The 20th Anniversary Blue Ribbon Gala on April 17, 2027 is our chance to celebrate all of that — and all of you. It will be an evening worthy of twenty years of extraordinary work. We hope you will join us.
