Funds from the gala will support Yours Humanly local and global programs, which reach disadvantaged children in the United States, as well as Cambodia, India, Nepal, the Philippines, and Haiti. To date, Yours Humanly has served more than 6,500 children through its two initiatives, Coloring Futures and Bridging Gaps, and its more than 30 distinct programs.

"Yours Humanly's work reaches far beyond village, county, state, and national borders," says Sunny Singh, founder and CEO of Yours Humanly. "Once we have touched the life of a child, the impact is evident in that child’s life wherever he or she may journey. And, our work transforms not only the life of that child through the power of education, but that of the child’s family, community, and world forever."

The 2019 Gift of Schooling Gala is sponsored by Amazon, AW Artistry, Capital One, Diablo magazine, Elevents Group, Heritage Bank of Commerce, JFK University, John Muir Health, Mark and Kathy Lefanowicz, Linda Rimac Colberg, OPM, and WCI-GC.
