THE REVAIRE
Join Petra Cares for an inspiring evening that changes lives. Your presence at the 2026 Gala will directly support job training, scholarships, and life-skills programs for young adults transitioning out of foster care.
Each year, the Petra Cares Gala brings together compassionate supporters, community leaders, and generous partners, all committed to empowering young adults aging out of foster care, helping them build stable careers, and transforming lives through education, training, and support
At Petra Cares, our mission is to remove barriers and provide real pathways for youth aging out of foster care or facing homelessness. Through vocational training, education partnerships, and job placement — including programs certified through ASE — we’re equipping young adults with the tools, skills, and confidence they need to build stable, hopeful futures.
Your participation in the Fueling Futures Gala helps fund scholarships, training, tools, and support services for youth in our community!
