Sometimes one person showing up can change the direction of someone’s life.
That is The Power of One.
If you’ve been thinking about coming, this is your sign. Grab your friends, make it a date night, bring your coworkers, or get a table together.

Dreaming of Greece? 🇬🇷✨
One of our silent auction highlights at The Power of One Gala is a Greek Island getaway. Think blue water, whitewashed villages, unforgettable sunsets, and the chance to turn “Greek Island Dreaming” into an actual trip.
You’ll have the opportunity to bid on this experience only at the gala, along with some other incredible silent auction items throughout the evening.
And the best part? Every bid helps HEY Operation continue supporting foster and displaced youth and reminding them that they are seen, valued, and cared for.

This is why.
Before The Power of One was a gala, it was a belief.
That one person choosing to show up can make a difference in a child’s life.
Since 2012, thousands of people have shown up for HEY Operation: volunteering, donating, giving gifts, opening doors and helping us reach more than 30,000 children.
On October 3, we’re bringing that community together for the first time at The Power of One.
Not simply to celebrate how far we’ve come, but to help us write what comes next.
One person. One decision. One act of kindness.
That’s where change begins.
