Attitude of Gratitude 2026
Saturday, October 24, 2026 | Q Casino – Reflections Event Space | Doors open at 5:00 PM
Join Opening Doors for an unforgettable evening of compassion, community, and impact at our annual Attitude of Gratitude Gala. This signature fundraiser brings together supporters, advocates, and community leaders to celebrate the lives being transformed through safe shelter, supportive services, and pathways toward long-term stability for women and children experiencing homelessness.
We're shaking things up this year with a reception-style format! Guests will enjoy heavy passed hors d'oeuvres and chef-attended stations throughout the event space, along with a mix of tables and cocktail tables for more flexibility to move around. This new format gives attendees more space to connect with one another and engage with our exclusive silent auction items, all within a consolidated program featuring sponsor recognition, a mission moment with our Resident speaker, and 5 Live Auction items ending with a paddle drop hosted by BRAVO Auctioneers and the Opening Doors team.
Every dollar raised helps provide healing, hope, and home to women and families across the Dubuque community. Attitude of Gratitude is more than a fundraiser- it is a celebration of resilience, generosity, and the collective impact we can make together.
Ticket Price: $125/ticket, or sponsorship options are available. Together, we are opening doors to brighter futures.
