2020 Annual Gala
The Friends of Foothill Family work tirelessly to organize Foothill Family's annual gala, held each spring and conceptualized around a unique theme. The benefit supports Foothill Family by raising approximately one-fifth of the agency's annual unrestricted operating funds, which makes an extraordinary impact on the agency and its client family.
Individual tickets for this year's gala, A Royal Affair, are now available for purchase. Tickets purchased before February 17, 2020 are $275; the price then increases to $300 after that date.
