About the Gala:
The Honour & Hope Gala is Booth University College’s inaugural fundraising gala, created to support the groundbreaking Shelter-U Program. This powerful evening will bring together community leaders, changemakers, and supporters to uplift individuals experiencing homelessness through access to tuition-free, university-level education. Through connection, celebration, and generosity, we invite you to help restore dignity, spark transformation, and empower a new future — grounded in faith, expressed in service, and fueled by education, mercy, hope, and social justice.
