Imogen, I will love you until the stars burn out and there is nothing left in the world. Yet I don’t think even if I live forever I’ll be able to describe what you mean to me in words. You looked forward to turning 18 so much and todays that day. It seems inexplicably to be experiencing a part of life that you should be joining but time was stolen and you’ll never get to know it. I feel so hollow because i know you hold a part of me I won’t get back for a long time. Today we honor you by remembering the joy and light you brought into the world through many different ways, from IF to the endless calls and texts between those who love you. Who have and alway will. Happy 18th Imie, know that everything I do is for you.
We are delighted to invite you to the 3rd Annual Imogen Gala: A Celebration of Belonging.
We are delighted to invite you to the 3rd Annual Imogen Gala: A Celebration of Belonging.
Held on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, this annual event brings together the IF community for an evening of connection, inspiration, and generosity. The gala celebrates the imagination and potential of the children and families we serve while raising essential support for programs that help every child feel welcomed, supported, and able to thrive.
Guests will enjoy a meaningful experience featuring student and community contributions, storytelling, and imaginative programming that reflects the values at the center of IF’s work.
As our annual fundraiser, the gala helps sustain programs designed with care so that children can participate fully and families can feel part of a true community of belonging.
A concurrent Children’s Gala will offer a fun and engaging experience for young attendees, making it possible for the whole family to be part of the evening.
