Join us in supporting the grieving families of our community!
Join us for an unforgettable evening of celebration, connection, and impact at the Annual Giving Hope Gala on Friday November 14th, 2025! This is Dustin’s Place’s largest fundraiser of the year—and it’s so much more than a night out.
Together, we’ll honor the stories of hope and healing that have unfolded over the past year, enjoy an evening of inspiration and community, and raise the support needed to ensure no child grieves alone. With a history of selling out every year, you won’t want to miss your chance to be part of this incredible night of giving and gratitude!
Join us for a full-day professional seminar designed for anyone who works with or supports children. The day will begin with a keynote presentation from Viki Brown, co-founder of Dustin’s Place and a certified grief counselor, followed by an afternoon of interactive breakout sessions. Topics will include hands-on activities to use with grieving children, understanding anticipatory grief, how grief impacts the brain, and what grief looks like in the classroom. This seminar will provide both practical tools and deeper understanding to help professionals create compassionate, grief-informed spaces for children.
Lights, camera, trivia! 🎬✨
Join us for a fun-filled Movie Trivia Night benefiting Dustin’s Place, where film lovers and trivia buffs come together for an unforgettable evening—all for a great cause.
