Event Description:

In November each year the Tim Griffith Foundation welcomes 300+ people to their annual Gala - friends, supporters, clients, and partners who share a common goal: to provide support and services to those impacted by addiction, violence and loss. The Gala shines a spotlight on our clients who share their personal stories of support received and peace and healing found, that they never thought possible again in their lives.

It’s a fun evening that includes a silent auction, a live auction, three course plated dinner, and an informative, inspiring evening program. Use the auctions to kick-off your holiday shopping and allow your holiday gift budget to benefit the work of the Foundation at the same time.

Proceeds from the Gala fund all the aspects of their mission including the Meadowlark Retreats for Grieving Mothers and Fathers, a Sequoia High School counselor working with at risk youth in Redwood City, and Tim’s House.

Tim Griffith Foundation:

In September 2004, twenty-one year old Tim Griffith was killed in a senseless and devastating act of violence. Tims mother, Stacey Redman, created the Tim Griffith Foundation in 2005 in an effort to carry Tims memory forward, honoring his eternal spirit. The mission of the Tim Griffith Foundation is to heal and strengthen Bay Area communities by providing support and services to those impacted by addiction, violence and loss. The focus of our work is on healing individuals, families and communities. We combine financial support and direct services, transforming hardship into journeys of hope.
