A community isn’t built by simply creating houses. A community is born when the people who live in it cherish their traditions and culture in a way where they support the future.
The Santa Clara Parade of Champions works to support youth scholarships, veterans, and families in need. They raise funds to help people facing medical and financial challenges. To support this mission, they host the Champions for Community Gala & Live Auction.
The event will take place on August 15, 2026, at Historic SES Hall. It is an evening gala with dinner, wine, and a live auction to support community programs. When people attend or donate, they help fund scholarships, support veterans, and assist families in crisis. Their support helps strengthen the community.
