Common Ground Society’s

Be the One Gala 2026

Celebrating 5 Years of Inclusion and a Lifetime of Belonging

April 18, 2026 | The Flamingo Resort & Spa, Santa Rosa

On April 18, 2026, over 250 supporters, educators, and community leaders will gather for Common Ground Society’s 5th 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
