A Night of Heart and Hope: Gala to Celebrate Resilience, Community, and Brighter Futures for Local Youth

Cincinnati, OH — In a world that often feels uncertain, one local organization is offering a powerful reminder that hope is alive and growing. NewPath Child & Family Solutions invites the community to its annual Heart & Hope Gala on October 16, 2025, from 5:30 to 8:00 PM at the historic Cincinnati Music Hall—an evening dedicated to celebrating the resilience of youth and the power of community to change lives.

This year’s theme, “Building Hope,” is more than a slogan—it’s a call to action. Every day, children, teens, and young adults across the region are overcoming trauma, navigating challenges, and building brighter futures with the support of NewPath’s trauma-informed programs. The gala shines a light on their journeys and on the people who walk beside them.

“Our gala is such a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the impact our agency has on the community,” said Tricia Mullins, Chief Operations & Impact Officer at NewPath. “It’s an evening full of fun, laughter, and often a few tears—but most importantly, it’s a reminder of why we’re here: to ignite hope and change futures for those who need us most.”

Guests will be treated to:

• A warm, welcoming evening in one of Cincinnati’s most iconic venues
• Powerful stories of transformation and triumph
• Recognition of the 2025 Heart, Hope, Spark, and Torch Award recipients—volunteers, donors, foster parents, and team members who go above and beyond
• Opportunities to connect with others who believe in the power of second chances and new beginnings

Whether you’re a long-time supporter or just discovering NewPath’s mission, this is your chance to be part of something truly meaningful. Every ticket purchased and every story shared helps lay a stronger foundation for youth in our community—one built on compassion, opportunity, and hope.

“Our gala is an important reminder that we’re not doing this work alone,” said Eric Cummins, Chief Executive Officer at NewPath. “When our community shows up—whether through donations, sponsorships, or simply attending—it sends a powerful message to NewPath youth: you matter, and we’re here for you.”

Tickets and sponsorships are available now at www.newpath.org/gala.
