Our 8th Annual Road to Home Gala will be held on Friday, September 18, 2026, from 6-9pm at the White River Conference Center at Bass Pro in Springfield, MO. Our 2026 theme is “Road to Home: Together, we can light the way home.”

This year’s gala will support the nine programs that operate out of our Cheri Carter Clark Resource Center in Springfield, MO, such as Sammy’s Window Clothing Closet, Sharehouse Food Distribution, Advocacy, Community Connection YouThrive, Behavioral Interventionist, and the YouthConnect Center. With community partners and friends like you, FosterAdopt Connect of Springfield is able to continue providing these vital services to foster and adoptive children in our community. 

We hope you’ll join us for an unforgettable evening of connection and philanthropy with some special guests you won’t want to miss. The night includes: 

• Signature drinks, wine, and plated dinner
• Silent and live auction with exciting items
• Wine and whiskey pull
• Games and raffles
• Photo booth 

Our popular Golden Ticket Raffle will be back this year and will be launched on Facebook, so make sure to follow the FosterAdopt Connect Springfield page and our Road to Home Event to be the first to get your ticket! Remember, only 100 tickets are available! 

We invite you to partner with us as a sponsor for this heartwarming evening. Sponsorship is more than a logo—it’s a statement of commitment to children and families in our community. Sponsorship tables and event tickets are available now!  

We look forward to sharing the impact FosterAdopt Connect is making in the Springfield community and surrounding counties. Secure your sponsorship and tickets and together, we can light the way home for foster and adoptive children in our community!
