Woven Together Reach-MKHC Gala 2026

Join us for an evening of community, impact, and philanthropy at the 2026 Reach–MKHC Gala, a joint fundraising event supporting both Reach and our subsidiary, the Mansfield Kaseman Health Clinic — two mission-driven organizations working together to empower Montgomery County families by providing vital healthcare, eldercare, housing, financial emergency assistance, English education for immigrants, and other services. Our event's theme, Woven Together, honors the deep connections that strengthen and sustain both organizations and our local community.

What to Expect

  • Warm & Welcoming Cocktail Reception
  • Three-Course Seated Dinner
  • Live and Silent Auctions with unique items and one-of-a-kind experiences
  • Music & Entertainment throughout the evening
  • Meaningful Connections with local business owners, elected officials, community leaders, and neighbors dedicated to making a difference

We are thrilled to welcome Kelsey Nicole Nelson — award-winning sports journalist, speaker, entrepreneur, and proud Montgomery County native — as our new emcee! With her dynamic presence and gift for storytelling, Kelsey will help lead an inspiring and unforgettable evening.
