Common Ground Society’s

Be the One Gala 2027

Celebrating 6 Years of Inclusion and a Lifetime of Belonging

May 1, 2027 | The DoubleTree by Hilton, Rohnert Park

Join us to gather for Common Ground Society’s 6th Anniversary Gala. Together, we aim to raise over $350,000 to fund programs serving 2,500 individuals with disabilities and their families in Sonoma County and throughout the North Bay.

Your sponsorship makes this impact possible — and ensures that every family feels seen, supported, and included.

Thank you to our 2026 Be The One™ Sponsors
