Making a Difference in YOU Caregiver Gala

December 5, 2026

Join us in celebrating our 11th annual Making a Difference in You Caregiver Gala.

The Caregiver Gala, founded by Kesha L. Hayes, was created to honor the dedication and hard work of caregivers who selflessly care for their loved ones and those in healthcare entities. As a Licensed Registered Nurse (RN), Kesha recognized the lack of recognition for those who tirelessly give of themselves. She created this event to change that.

Praise is contagious. By acknowledging the exceptional work of one caregiver, we inspire others to continue their hard work and encourage everyone to elevate the care they provide. Join us in celebrating these unsung heroes and their incredible contributions.

Why sponsor this event?

More than 1 in 3 older adults report experiencing a lack of companionship, and approximately one-quarter of Americans age 65 and older living in their communities are considered socially isolated. At Caring for Aging Beauties, our mission is to combat loneliness and social isolation by enhancing socialization, stimulating lifelong learning, increasing emotional support, and improving the overall health and well-being of our Aging Beauties.

Behind many of our older adults is a caregiver who gives tirelessly of their time, energy, love, and compassion. Caregivers are often the unsung heroes of our communities, making personal sacrifices to ensure that our aging loved ones receive the dignity, respect, companionship, and quality care they deserve. Whether they are family members, friends, or professional caregivers, their commitment makes an immeasurable difference in the lives of those they serve.

Recognizing that caregivers also need encouragement, appreciation, and support, Caring for Aging Beauties established the "Making a Difference in YOU Caregiver Gala" to celebrate and honor these extraordinary individuals. This special event shines a light on their dedication, acknowledges the challenges they face, and reminds them that their service, sacrifices, and compassion do not go unnoticed.

Your contribution to the "Making a Difference in YOU Caregiver Gala" does more than support an evening of recognition. It helps Caring for Aging Beauties continue developing meaningful programs that promote social engagement, volunteer opportunities, intergenerational connections, and enriching experiences for older adults while advocating for the caregivers who support them.

When we honor caregivers, we honor the lives they touch. When we support our Aging Beauties, we strengthen our entire community.

Together, we are making a difference, one caregiver and one Aging Beauty at a time.

Aging in Grace.
