Gala Recap and Photos

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our sponsors, donors, community partners, seniors, and staff, we raised more than $640,000 in support of On Lok’s mission.

If you were able to join us May 8th for the On Lok Celebrates Gala—thank you!

We are thrilled to share that this year’s gala was our most successful event to date.

These vital funds will directly benefit the diverse community of low-income and marginalized seniors we serve, helping ensure they can age with dignity, independence, connection, and good health.

The evening was a true celebration of community and impact. From the lively opening reception and delicious food stations to the inspiring Healthy Connections + Vibrant Communities Showcase featuring On Lok seniors, the energy throughout the night was unforgettable.

Guests were especially moved by remarks from Grace Li and Michele Lew, as well as our mission-driven auction and Fund-a-Need led by Ellen Toscano. The evening concluded on a sweet and joyful note with a decadent dessert bar, live music, and dancing on the main stage.

We look forward to sharing the date for On Lok Celebrates 2027 soon!
