Gift of Sound & Voice Gala

Voices of Aloha Gala

Where Every Voice Finds Its Song

Join us on Friday, March 20, 2026, for an unforgettable evening at the Voices of Aloha Gala, benefiting the Auditory Verbal Center. Held at the Atlanta Marriott Perimeter Center, this vibrant celebration will bring together friends, families, and community leaders in the spirit of aloha to support children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Since 1977, Auditory Verbal Center has been laying the foundation for a lifetime of listening and speaking, without the need for sign language or lip reading. Through specialized Auditory-Verbal Therapy and family-centered care, AVC empowers children to develop spoken language and reach their fullest potential. Your participation directly supports this life-changing mission.

The evening begins with bottomless Hawaiian Pineapple Martinis from 6:00–7:00 PM, followed by a festive Hawaiian-inspired plated dinner featuring island favorites, tropical cocktails, and lively entertainment. Guests will enjoy dancing, a raffle, silent and live auctions, and exciting surprises throughout the night.

Back by popular demand, Dean Crownover returns as our Event Emcee and Live Auctioneer, bringing over 30 years of professional entertainment experience to transform the auction into a high-energy, laughter-filled show.

From a private Irish countryside getaway to an exclusive in-home dining experience with Chef Lance Hagan, this year’s auction promises extraordinary opportunities, all in support of giving sound and voice to children in our community.

Hawaiian/Resort attire is encouraged, so wear your brightest florals and join us for a meaningful night of celebration, generosity, and impact.

Tickets are $175 per person. RSVP by March 11 at avchears.org/events. Sponsorship opportunities and table packages are available.

Together, we’ll ensure that every voice finds its song. 🌺
