Your invitation to an unforgettable night

This isn’t a traditional black-tie gala. It’s cocktail attire with a sense of fun—and a night built around the joy, courage, and possibility that define Camp Kirk.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be immersed in Camp Kirk magic: welcoming cocktails, a three-course dinner, meaningful camper stories, exciting auctions, and a dance floor brought to life by The Killer Hooks and their high-energy Video Dance Party.

Come celebrate, dance like it’s the ’80s, and still be home by midnight.

Buy Tickets

A fun night out.

A lifetime of impact.

 

Every ticket purchased, every auction bid, and every paddle raised helps create life-changing camp experiences for neurodivergent children and youth.

At Camp Kirk, campers find a place where they feel safe to be themselves, try new things, build friendships, and discover what they’re capable of. Confidence grows with every campfire, new friend, and skill mastered.

And when a child discovers confidence, it doesn’t stay at camp. It follows them home—into school, friendships, and the future.

Last year’s gala raised $96,212. This year, our goal is $100,000.
