We are still smiling from The Aux’s 1-Year Anniversary Gala!
On June 20, we came together to celebrate one incredible year of The Aux—and what a night it was! From the amazing food and drinks to the dancing, laughter, and meaningful conversations, the room was filled with so much joy and love.

We connected with old friends, made new ones, enjoyed incredible raffle prizes, and most importantly, raised funds to help support The Aux’s sustainability and continued growth.

Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, sponsored, volunteered, performed, and helped make our anniversary celebration so special. The Aux is what it is because of community, and we are so grateful to be building this together. Here’s to celebrating how far we’ve come—and all that’s still ahead! Have you been to The Aux lately?
