2026 BPH-Exclusive VIP Reception

About the Reception

Before the Blueprint of Hope Gala begins, we are honored to host an intimate gathering for our most dedicated community partners. The BPH VIP Reception is an exclusive pre-event experience reserved for our top sponsors, offering early access to the venue and a rare opportunity to connect in a meaningful way before the evening unfolds.

Meet Gaelin Elmore

This year's Blueprint of Hope keynote speaker is Gaelin Elmore, a former collegiate football player and former foster youth whose story of resilience, determination, and hope is at the heart of this evening.

VIP guests will have the unique opportunity to meet Gaelin in person, take photos with him, and hear a glimpse of his journey before he takes the stage. It is a moment you will not want to miss.
