The Lissa Santiago Foundation will gather supporters on Friday, March 20, 2026, at The Chandelier in Bayonne, for its Second Annual Gala: Honoring Our Unsung Heroes—an evening dedicated to the people whose quiet service keeps communities strong.

By attending, you’re helping shine a light on individuals who lead through action rather than recognition, while directly supporting programs that advance community empowerment, education, and outreach. Proceeds from the night help ensure families and individuals continue to receive practical support where it’s needed most.

For guests, the evening is a chance to come together around gratitude and purpose—recognizing impact, strengthening connections, and investing in work that creates opportunity behind the scenes.
