Phenix Gateway’s 2026 Celebration
You are cordially invited to support Igniting Futures, Phenix Gateway’s 2026 Celebration Dinner and Fundraiser, dedicated to expanding opportunity for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through education, training, and meaningful employment. After selling out weeks in advance and receiving outstanding feedback last year, the Phenix Gateway Celebration returns on Thursday, April 30, 2026, at 6:30 PM at the March Air Museum, 22550 Van Buren Blvd., Riverside, CA 92518. .
Talent is everywhere,
But opportunity is not
Last year’s gala marked a turning point for Phenix Gateway. Because our community exceeded our fundraising goal, we opened our first physical office, added staff, and launched new programs that are already creating measurable impact. In 2026, we are building on that momentum by expanding services and deepening partnerships to reach even more individuals.
When individuals are given the right training, support, and belief, potential turns into confidence, skills become careers, and futures are transformed. Igniting Futures is about lighting that spark and sustaining it through real pathways to independence.
Reflects a simple truth.
Join Us
For an inspiring evening
Featuring a thoughtfully curated dinner, networking, and powerful stories of transformation. We will also recognize individuals and organizations whose leadership is helping ignite futures across our community.
Proceeds from the evening will support Phenix Gateway 501(c)(3) programs, funding job readiness training, workshops, and employment pathways that strengthen families and our regional workforce.
We invite you to participate as a sponsor of this transformative event. Our 2026 fundraising goal is $100,000, and with your partnership, we can continue opening doors and igniting futures.
