Join Us for an Inspiring Evening!

Mark your calendars for a milestone celebration! On April 18, 2026, join us in the beautiful Discovery Ballroom at Ameristar Resort and Spa for the 2nd Annual Shining Light Gala—a spectacular evening honoring 75 years of DGCKids.

Together, under the glow of celebration and purpose, we’ll reflect on a legacy of service, resilience, and possibility, while raising critical support for children who are blind or visually impaired.

Every sponsorship, ticket purchased, and story shared helps DGCKids continue to provide life-changing services, empowering children to thrive. Let’s make this evening unforgettable—because every child deserves to shine!

Ticket and table purchases will be available soon!

For details on tickets and tables, connect with Lauren Sanders, Development Manager, at lsanders@dgckids.org
