The OAW Gala rides back into town on Saturday, July 25, 2026 at The Old Glass Place in Springfield — and this year we’re turning up the shine with a Sequins & Spurs theme, where glam meets cowboy boots and cowboy hats.
Think sequined gowns with a little fringe. Tailored jackets with a touch of rhinestone. Cowboy hats tipped with purpose.
This is our biggest night of the year — a western-glam evening filled with laughter, generosity, and a community that knows how to show up.
WHAT'S IN STORE
✨ 5:45 – 7:00 PM
Swing open those doors and settle in for dinner, bidding in our silent auction, and a visit to the cash bar (open all night long). It’s your chance to mingle, browse, and start the evening off right.
✨ 7:15 PM
We’ll gather for a heartfelt OAW mission moment — stories, impact, and a reminder of why this community keeps saddling up year after year.
✨ 7:45 PM
Then it’s time for our live auction — featuring standout experiences and our Sponsor-a-Family moment, where generosity takes center stage and directly fuels the support families receive long after the dust settles.
And that’s exactly what we do. We show up for families when the road gets rough — and stay with them long after the dust settles.
✨ After the final gavel drops…The music turns up, the boots hit the floor, and the real hoedown begins. Costume contest, line-dancing, and a little party-time sparkle to round out the night.
Every ticket helps us continue providing free therapeutic photography and long-term grief recovery support to families navigating a child’s terminal-risk diagnosis or infant loss.
So grab your hat, add a little shimmer, and join us for a night where compassion shines just as bright as the sequins.
