Our annual Aspire Gala raises critical funding to empower 600 dedicated and driven single parents and their children each year. Warren Village residents aspire to transform the lives of their families, and, together with our community of supporters, we aspire to support their commitment to work toward their goals.

The theme of this year’s celebration is Building Community. As Warren Village continues to grow, we recognize the power and importance of the community that surrounds us—from the strong and close-knit community that residents build with each other, to the partnerships we build in the community that help Warren Village thrive. This year’s Aspire Gala  will include a cocktail reception, empowering testimonials from resident families, a plated dinner, and incredible live music and dancing. View the dinner menu.
