Celebrating Love, Family, and Hope: Kidsave’s 25th Annual Gala in Los Angeles

This year marked a significant milestone for Kidsave as they celebrated their 25th Anniversary Miracles Gala at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. The theme, “Celebrating 25 Years of Love and Family,” resonated deeply, as families who had met through Kidsave’s transformative programs gathered to commemorate their journeys and Kidsave’s impact over the years.

Randi Thompson, Kidsave’s Co-Founder and CEO, also delivered a moving speech expressing her passion for Kidsave’s mission and her hopes for the future. Her dedication and vision have been instrumental in shaping Kidsave into the impactful organization it is today, and her words resonated deeply with all who share her commitment to creating a world where every child has a loving family. “This has been a super emotional night for Kidsave,” said Randi. “It’s a journey of families formed, generational change, and futures rewritten.”

This year’s honoree was Sari Grant, a longtime Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) partner. Her unwavering support for Kidsave and ongoing advocacy for older kids in foster care made her the perfect choice for such a milestone honor. “At first, I was skeptical,” said Sari. “But, through witnessing the program, not only did I become a believer, but I also became a strong advocate for Kidsave, and they’ve truly won my heart.” Her dedication inspires all, showing the power of collaboration and community in making a difference.

As the night drew to a close, the energy shifted to the dance floor, where attendees let loose and celebrated amidst music and laughter. It was a fitting end to a night filled with love, gratitude, and the shared belief that every child deserves a loving family and a place to call home.
