Thank You!

Our community’s generosity and talent made the Color Their Worlds Gala & Auction a true celebration of possibility. Every guest and bidder lifted the energy in the room. Our year-round supporters continue to power opportunities for young scholars and their families. 🌟

We are so grateful to the dedicated volunteers, EOCF staff, board, Parent Policy Council, production professionals, and the incredible Ilani conference and catering teams. Your seamless collaboration created a night full of joy, connection, and purpose.

Our young artists amazed us with their vibrant creativity in the paintings that headlined the evening. 🎨🖌️ We were honored to welcome Ruby Bridges virtually. Her lifelong leadership in justice inspires us all. One especially moving moment came when the winning bidders gifted the featured painting to our CEO, Rekah. Their generosity was a beautiful reflection of the shared purpose we all felt throughout the event. 💖

Because of you, children are now seeing wider horizons. Families feel an even stronger community surrounding them. The funds raised will strengthen connections, spark transformation, and empower growth all year long. 📈
