SUMMARY:Blue Jeans & Pearls Gala 2026: Love Leads Home
DESCRIPTION:An Evening of Hope\, Family\, and Homecoming\nJoin us on October 17\, 2026\, at the High Point Country Club in High Point\, NC\, for our annual Blue Jeans & Pearls Gala where Love Leads Home. This special evening celebrates forever families\, foster care\, reunification\, homecomings\, and the unwavering commitment to children in need. \nAs Carolina Adoption Services marks 33 years of creating homecomings for children and families around the world\, we invite you to help us continue this life-changing mission for the next 33 years and beyond. The evening will begin with a Pre-Gala reception at 5:00 PM\, followed by the main event. \nOur goal for 2026 is to welcome more than 300 attendees and raise $330\,000 to support critical services for children and families. Funds raised through the Gala help provide adoption and foster care support\, crisis intervention services\, counseling and family resources\, transportation assistance for expectant parents\, and emergency support for families facing challenges related to food\, clothing\, and shelter. \nWhether through sponsorship\, ticket purchases\, donations\, participation in our silent and live auctions\, or raffle entries\, every contribution helps create brighter futures and opens doors for children and families to thrive. Together\, we can continue building pathways where love leads home. \n  \nUltimate Family Getaway Raffle\nThe Blue Jeans & Pearls Gala Ultimate Family Getaway Raffle is officially underway! \nFor just $133 per ticket\, you’ll have a chance to win an unforgettable 7-night vacation for up to six guests. The lucky winner will choose from four incredible destinations: \n\nHawaii\nLake Tahoe\nOrlando\nFreeport\, Bahamas\n\nThe prize package includes: \n\n7-night accommodations\nUp to 6 guests\nFlexible travel dates for up to 3 years\nNo blackout dates\n\nOnly 133 raffle tickets will be sold\, giving participants significantly better odds than most raffles. Once all tickets are sold\, entries will close. \nThe winning ticket will be drawn and announced during the Gala; however\, attendance is not required to win. \nEvery raffle ticket purchased helps Carolina Adoption Services provide hope\, support\, and resources to children and families through adoption and foster care programs. At the same time\, you’ll have the opportunity to create lifelong memories with the people you love most. \nBecome a sponsor\, purchase your Gala tickets\, or enter the Ultimate Family Getaway Raffle today and join us in making a difference\, one child\, one family at a time. \nClick the link to join us in creating more homecomings for children in need: https://2026CASGala.givesmart.com
