 2025 Spring Gala Recap 

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2025 Horizons Spring Gala! 410 donors, volunteers, guests and staff came together to celebrate our ongoing work to support families experiencing homelessness in Massachusetts. Thanks to their support, we raised a record-breaking $1.3 million dollars! These gifts have an immediate and direct impact on our early education center, Playspaces around the state, and additional support services for families.
