What does the moment a child finds their forever family feel like?

Sometimes, it starts with a quiet room, heartfelt words, and a simple “yes”—the kind that changes lives. This November, you’re invited to celebrate those powerful moments and help make more of them possible.

The Gift of Adoption Fund is a national nonprofit that provides grants to complete adoptions for vulnerable children, giving them permanent, loving families. Their South Carolina Chapter is hosting its 3rd Annual Gala on November 13, 2025, at the oceanfront Citadel Beach Club in Isle of Palms.

This elegant evening features cocktails, dinner, music, and both live and silent auctions—set against the backdrop of the Atlantic. But what truly sets it apart? You’ll hear directly from a family whose adoption journey was made possible by a grant, reminding everyone what this cause is really about.

If you’re near the Isle of Palms, consider dressing up (black tie optional) and spending the night doing something that truly makes a difference—for children and for families who are just waiting for the final piece to fall into place.
