Keys of Hope Gala

On Saturday, June 28, 2025, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m., Port in the Storm Homeless Youth Center celebrates six years of service and hosts a fundraising gala at Ancient City Farmstead.

A program under the St. Augustine Society, Port in the Storm provides counseling, education, and life skills training to St. Augustine's youths in crisis. The June 28 event celebrates this successful program with an evening of food, fun, dancing, music, and a live auction. In addition, a key raffle enables you to purchase keys that may open a chest stuffed with treasures.

The evening begins with a signature cocktail, beer or wine, and food by Bronx House Pizza. Bruno DeFabio, founder of Bronx House Pizza and one of the event sponsors, has a personal interest in underprivileged youth and supports the St. Augustine Society in several ways.

The St. Augustine Society was founded in 1984 and operates St. Francis House, Port in the Storm Homeless Youth Center, and SOS Street Outreach Services. Currently, all of the youth in Port in the Storm's program are in their therapy program, 85% are employed, and a number of them are working to enter college or join the military. 

Admission: $125.00 per person. Purchase tickets and sign up for a sponsorship online.

When: Saturday, June 28, 2025, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m.
