Event Website

Join us for an unforgettable evening of impact, inspiration, and celebration at the 11th Annual Be Perfect Scholarship Gala, as we proudly present this year’s theme:
“Playing the Cards You’re Dealt.”

This powerful theme reflects the resilience of those living with paralysis—individuals who didn’t choose their circumstances, but who rise every day to face them with courage, strength, and hope.

Hosted at the Pomona Fairplex Event Center, this black-tie optional evening will feature:
♠️ A vibrant cocktail hour
♥️ Silent and live auctions filled with exclusive experiences
♣️ A gourmet dinner and moving client stories
♦️ Dancing, entertainment, and Vegas-style surprises throughout the night

Guests will also enjoy a casino-style activation, where real chips can be purchased and used toward table games or cocktails, with the option to enter exclusive prize raffles for Laker playoff tickets, luxury jewelry, and more.

Since 2007, the Be Perfect Foundation has raised nearly $10 million for individuals living with paralysis—providing life-saving therapy sessions, medical equipment, wheelchairs, and emotional support to those who need it most. Our annual gala is the largest fundraiser of the year and plays a critical role in helping us continue this mission.

🎟️ Individual Tickets: $195

Table sponsorships and premium sponsorship packages are available.

This is more than a fundraiser—it's a celebration of humanity, perseverance, and the power of community.
Whether you're attending, sponsoring, or donating, you are helping someone play the hand they’ve been dealt with dignity, purpose, and hope.

More information and our ticketing website are coming soon!
