ANNUAL Gala
Project Avary’s Annual Fundraising Gala
Each year, Project Avary hosts a fundraising Gala to celebrate, honor and support our work. The event is an absolute blast and serves an important role in raising funds crucial to our programs, helping to build brighter futures for children with incarcerated parents.
This year’s event will be hosted on:
Thursday, October 23rd 2025 at 5:30pm at the International House at UC Berkeley.
The evening includes dinner, drinks, Avary youth speakers, a silent auction, a raffle and a chance to support the organization during a live Fund-A-Need campaign. The event also features a Trivia Bee, a fun and friendly competition where folks team up with their friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues to compete for the annual winner’s title. The game is led by Master of Trivia, Howard Rachelson. All levels welcome.
Delicious Food. Team trivia. Social justice. Community.
Congratulations to our 2024 Trivia Winners, “The Top Hats”!
Many thanks to our 2024 sponsors!
