LOVE LIFE LEGACY
An evening of celebration at a
critical moment in the lives of our children
On Monday, March 2, 2026, the National CARES Mentoring Movement will host its annual For the Love of Our Children Gala at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City. The evening is dedicated to supporting some of the most vulnerable and defenseless in our nation–our children living in poverty and isolation.
This year, as we offer a praisesong for The Women Who Made Us, we are thrilled to celebrate the 80th birthday of our Founder and CEO, Susan L. Taylor, as National CARES commemorates 20 years of serving our communities.
Join us for a memorable evening filled with inspiration, joy, music and love.

PAST GALA HIGHLIGHTS
Our annual signature fundraising event is a call to action. Produced for the first time in 2016, the Gala serves as the primary gathering of caring supporters–corporate, community, and policy leaders, celebrity champions, and those who are deeply invested in our children's success.
