Stepping Stones Gala: Black & White on the Red Carpet

Saturday, October 10, 2026  |  EOTEC, 1705 E Airport Rd, Hermiston, OR 97838

Join Stepping Stones Alliance for our annual gala — Black & White on the Red Carpet — an elegant black-and-white evening featuring a DJ, plated dinner, fundraising games, and a live auction, all in support of transitional housing and navigation services for people experiencing houselessness in Umatilla County. General admission includes access to all main event activities. Last year’s gala raised $42,000 to support our mission.

Sponsorship opportunities are available at five levels — Bedrock ($10,000), Flagstone ($5,000), Hearth ($1,000), Cobblestone ($500), and Riprap (à la carte items, $200–$2,000) — each including event tickets, program acknowledgment, and social media recognition.
