All Star Children’s Foundation marked a milestone evening at its Third Annual Twinkle Ball, where more than 400 guests gathered to champion the organization’s mission of transforming the foster care system. The elegant black-tie gala, held at The Ora, raised over $750,000 to support children and families impacted by trauma and foster care.
This year’s event was led by Gala Chairs Michael and Terri Klauber and John and Amy Hoskins, whose leadership and commitment helped elevate the evening’s success.
Guests were treated to a memorable night featuring a curated dinner by Michael’s On East, an exciting live auction of luxury travel and lifestyle experiences, powerful mission moments, and an inspiring paddle raise—all benefiting All Star’s trauma-informed programs and life-changing therapeutic services delivered on its Campus of Hope & Healing.
A highlight of the evening was the keynote address by Peter Mutabazi, renowned foster parent, author, advocate, and founder of Now I Am Known. Mutabazi shared his extraordinary personal journey and emphasized the urgent need for safe, stable, and nurturing homes for children in foster care. His message reinforced the core of All Star’s mission: helping children heal from trauma through innovation, science, and compassion.
“All Star Children’s Foundation’s supporters continue to show what is possible when a community rallies around its most vulnerable children,” said Stephen Fancher, Chief Advancement Officer. “The generosity we witnessed at this year’s Twinkle Ball makes it possible for more children in foster care to experience trauma-informed care, safety, and the steady support every child deserves. Our community’s commitment truly changes lives”
Funds raised will directly support All Star’s comprehensive mental health services for children affected by trauma, on-campus therapeutic foster homes, training for child-welfare professionals, and the organization’s ongoing efforts to strengthen families and transform the foster care system.
