Pleasant Hill Senior Center

If you've ever cared for an aging parent, a spouse, or a loved one with a disability, you know how much love (and exhaustion) goes into it. Caregiver OneCall is a local nonprofit that runs a 24/7 helpline connecting California family caregivers to support and resources, and we're hosting our 2nd annual gala to celebrate them.
❤️ All Our Love for Caregivers Gala 
📅 Saturday, February 6, 2027, 5:00–9:00 PM 
📍 Chateau Hall, Pleasant Hill Senior Center, 233 Gregory Lane
The evening is hosted by Dave Clark of KTVU-TV and includes dinner, a live auction, a keynote from family caregiver and advocate Joanna Glum, and our Voice of Dignity award honoring Lucinda Bazile, CEO of Cancer Support Community SF Bay Area.
Early bird tickets are $150, or $1,000 for a table of 8. It's a great way to spend the weekend before Valentine's with your partner, friends, or coworkers, and every ticket helps keep the helpline free for caregivers who need it.
🎟️ Tickets and details:&nbsp;<a href="https://paybee.io/in-person-event/caregiverone/1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">paybee.io/in-person-event/caregiverone/1</a>
Local businesses: sponsorships start at $1,000 and include recognition at the event. Feel free to message me if you'd like to learn more.
If you're a caregiver yourself, please know you're seen. And if you know one, consider sharing this with them. 💛
