Last Friday, we had the distinct honor of being a sponsor for Samaritan House's 50th Anniversary Gala, "Cheers to Fifty Years!" It was an unforgettable evening filled with heartwarming stories, inspiring speeches, and a genuine sense of community spirit.

Samaritan House is a vital organization in our community, and their dedication to empowering individuals and families in need is truly remarkable. For five decades, they've provided critical services that promote self-sufficiency and preserve dignity,  including shelter, childcare, education, and job training programs San Mateo Samaritan House. Their impact on countless lives is undeniable.

The gala itself was a magnificent affair with excitement as guests donned their finest attire for a night of celebration and philanthropy.

The program kicked off with a moving video showcasing Samaritan House's history and the profound impact they've had. We heard from former clients who shared their stories of overcoming hardship and achieving self-sufficiency thanks to Samaritan House's unwavering support. Following the video, there were inspiring speeches from community leaders and Samaritan House representatives. They passionately emphasized the organization's mission and the importance of continued support to empower future generations.

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the live auction. Guests enthusiastically bid on an array of unique experiences and luxurious items. The proceeds from the auction will directly benefit Samaritan House's vital programs, ensuring they can continue their life-changing work.

Of course, no gala is complete without delicious food and toe-tapping music! We were treated to a gourmet dinner and danced the night away to a fantastic live band.
