You’re Invited!
We are so excited for our 13th Annual Kids at Heart Mentoring Gala on Thursday, April 30th, 2026 at the Colonial Hotel in Gardner, MA!
This year’s Gala will have some new and exciting updates! Instead of a traditional plated dinner with formal seating, guests will enjoy passed hors d’oeuvres, multiple food stations, specialty cocktails/mocktails, and entertainment while mingling with fellow Mentoring supporters. Smaller seating areas and a few larger tables will be available throughout the space, alongside the auction, activities, and classic games you know and love, creating an inspiring social experience from start to finish.
Tickets are live!
Visit our Gala website to get your ticket today. Whether you’ve been every year or this is your first time joining us, we’d love to see you there!
The Silent Auction is live!
Since 2002, LUK Mentoring has been pairing caring, concerned role models with youth throughout Worcester County who benefit from additional adult support.
