Celebrate Hope. Support Home.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of grace, giving, and community.
The Rose House Gala is our signature annual event. A night where compassion meets celebration, and every toast, every song, and every generous act brings us one step closer to creating lifelong homes for adults with special needs.

All proceeds will benefit the “Forever Home Project,” a new, affordable housing complex in Chester Township, NJ, expected to open in 2027. Once complete, this residence will provide 24/7 care and support for 12 more adults, helping them live meaningful, independent lives in a nurturing environment.
