Shining Light Gala

Join Us for an Incredible Evening at the Shining Light Gala!

Mark your calendars for a night to remember! On March 1, 2025, join us at the stunning Discovery Ballroom at Ameristar Resort and Spa for the Shining Light Gala, an evening filled with inspiration, celebration, and purpose.

Under the dazzling lights, let’s come together to honor resilience, strength, and community while raising vital support for children with visual impairments and their families.

This year, we are thrilled to share the story of Josh Fields, an incredible young man who received services from DGCKids. He exemplifies the strength and determination that defines our community. From his accomplishments as a U.S. Blind Hockey Team member to his aspirations for the Paralympics, Josh’s story will inspire us all to dream big and achieve greatness.

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!

Tickets are available to purchase at the bottom of the page!
