Thank You for Joining Us at the 2025 Find Your Spark! Gala! The Gala celebrated the power of our 12+ years “No Matter What” commitment to the youth we serve. The room came alive as two graduates of Friends of the Children were honored: Tah-Jae, a talented musical artist from the Friends of the Children–Seattle chapter, and Cardeana, a dedicated educator from the Friends of the Children–Portland chapter. Their stories and energy lit up the room. Watch our short Gala recap video to feel the magic of the evening.
