Around the World gala raises $500K

Both Ends Believing (BEB) welcomed guests to its third annual Around the World gala at Brook Hollow Country Club recently for a festive evening celebrating global impact. The event highlighted BEB’s work for children in Nigeria as the country leads the way for Africa to free children from institutionalization. Guests enjoyed an elegant dinner, vibrant cultural touches and inspiring stories of transformation, all in support of BEB’s mission to move children out of institutions and into loving families through its groundbreaking Children First Software. The gala exceeded expectations, raising more than $500,000 to advance BEB’s work in 14 countries and funded its expansion into Cambodia. It was a night of purpose, generosity and hope for children worldwide. — Lan Rose
