2026 Gala

Join us for CMFCAA’s 18th Annual Legacy of Love Gala

Our most anticipated fundraising event of the year is back. The Central Missouri Foster Care & Adoption Association (CMFCAA) cordially invites you to the 18th annual Legacy of Love Gala on October 17, 2026, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Capitol Plaza Hotel.

This year’s theme, “Golden Promise: Where Compassion Becomes Permanency,” reflects the heart of our mission: the commitment to transforming care into stability, and hope into lasting homes. It is a celebration of the quiet, powerful moments when compassion takes root and grows into something permanent for children and families.

An Evening of Impact and Elegance

The evening will be thoughtfully designed to reflect this vision, blending warmth and elegance with meaningful storytelling. Guests will enjoy a delicious meal, cocktails, live and silent auctions, music, and moving stories from the families whose lives are forever changed through your support.

Why Your Presence Matters

CMFCAA serves a vital 24-county region, providing essential resources like clothing, care packs, trauma-informed training, kinship advocacy, family respite opportunities, and intensive reunification services. Every dollar raised at the Gala goes directly toward providing safe, loving, and permanent connections for foster, adoptive, and kinship families across Central Missouri.

Your attendance and support are more than a contribution—it is a promise. A promise that children will have stability, that families will have the tools to thrive, and that compassion will lead to permanency. Every dollar raised helps create safe, loving, and lasting connections for foster, adoptive, and kinship families—the very foundation of strong communities.
