At Macaroni KID Upland, Claremont & La Verne, we love spotlighting meaningful community events that bring people together for a cause. This month, we’re proud to share an incredible opportunity to support survivors of human trafficking through a beautiful local event - the Illuminate Hope Gala.

Saturday, October 25, 2025 • The Garner House, Claremont

Every ONE Free is a local nonprofit dedicated to walking alongside survivors of human trafficking on their journey to freedom and restoration. Through trauma-informed care, long-term support, job training, education, and advocacy, Every ONE Free helps survivors rebuild their lives and rediscover hope.

This fall, they invite the community to join them for the Illuminate Hope Gala, an elegant evening filled with purpose and celebration. Guests will enjoy a delicious dinner, live music, drinks, and a silent auction, all set within the beautiful and historic Garner House in Claremont.

The Gala isn’t just a night out, it’s a chance to come together and make a real difference. Funds raised will directly support Every ONE Free’s programs that empower survivors and help them build new futures.
