On April 25, we hosted our 3rd annual fundraising gala for the adoption community, A Night of Dreams! This elevated circus evening included everything from VIP offerings, silent and live auctions, awe-inspiring circus acts, and heartfelt, adoption-minded programming. This week, listen in as Mal and Kate recap the whole evening and announce just how much money was raised during their Night of Dreams!

Be sure to also keep an ear out for next year's theme...we can't wait to see you there!
