Support college students facing homelessness in your community!
The Dax Gala is a fundraising event that helps us serve homeless college students from partner colleges and universities. The Dax Program provides housing, case management, counseling, transportation, food and book stipends, and educational reimbursements to homeless or housing insecure students. Unlocking the Future is a gala raising funds to help with the various costs associated with the program throughout the year.
This year we will be honoring our long-time partner and previous Host Committee Chair, Jackie Holsten, for her generosity and commitment to our Dax program.
