Tri-Valley Haven, a nonprofit that serves survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, homelessness and poverty, will be hosting its 2026 “Wings of Hope: Light the Way Gala” next month at the Shannon Community Center in Dublin.
“This gala reflects the incredible compassion and commitment of our community,” Suyeon Lee, communications and outreach specialists for Tri-Valley Haven said in a statement to the Weekly.
“It’s not just about recognizing impact, it’s about strengthening it. The support generated that evening helps ensure survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, homelessness, and food insecurity have access to the critical services they need to heal and rebuild their lives,” Lee said.
Over the past few years, Tri-Valley Haven has hosted several fundraisers for its Shiloh Rebuilding project. Shiloh was the organization’s domestic violence emergency shelter, which was demolished in 2024 after years of deterioration.
“For nearly 50 years, the shelter has been a cornerstone of safety in our community, providing refuge, stability, and healing to thousands of survivors and their children,” according to a press release from the nonprofit. “Tri-Valley Haven operates the only confidential domestic violence shelter in the Tri-Valley and is the only shelter in the area that accepts teenage boys as part of families.”
Construction has already begun for the rebuild project and is expected to be completed by January 2027. However, the nonprofit is still shy a couple million dollars from its project funding total, which is why events such as the April 17 gala continue to be important for the organization.
“The 2026 Wings of Hope: Light the Way Gala will help us move closer to completing our new, modernized shelter, a renewed space thoughtfully designed to provide dignity, security, and hope for generations to come,” the Tri-Valley Haven press release states.
Early bird tickets for the event will remain available until Saturday (March 7), the organization said.
Tickets will be available starting at $110 per ticket or $880 for a table of eight until Saturday. After that, tickets will go up to $125 per person and $1,000 per table. The gala itself, which will take place on April 17 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., will feature live music, dinner and a curated selection of wines.
“Tri-Valley Haven continues to be uplifted by tremendous community support from generous individuals and foundations to our partners at the Livermore, Dublin, Pleasanton, and Alameda County,” Lee told the Weekly. “We are able to provide life-saving and life-changing services because of this collective commitment.”
