Our Purpose

The Empower Me Gala is an annual celebration designed to ignite inspiration, uplift voices, and empower the next generation of leaders. Through powerful storytelling, heartfelt recognition, and dynamic speakers, the event cultivates purpose, confidence, and personal growth in teenagers and young adults. By fostering a deep sense of connection and belonging, the Gala aims to reduce feelings of isolation and help combat suicidal ideation among youth. More than just an event, it’s a movement that honors young people’s achievements, promotes peer-to-peer support, and reinforces the core values of resilience, self-worth, and a future-focused mindset.
