2023 RAD CAMP GALA

November 1, 2023

What an absolutely magical and unforgettable evening we shared at THE RADDEST GALA ON EARTH! RAD Camp community gathered at AV Irvine for a night of celebration benefitting its programs that support children and adults with developmental disabilities.

Greeted in true camp fashion with a welcome tunnel, guests high-fived campers and counselors who have experienced the life-changing power of camp firsthand on their way into the venue. Their enthusiastic cheers could be heard from inside the venue where arrived individuals gathered to enjoy a cocktail hour and the chance to mingle before the evening began!

With over 350 guests in attendance, the venue was transformed into a circus-themed extravaganza as a play on this year’s camp theme to create an authentic experience for all in attendance. Dinner service continued to wow guests as 24 Carrots Catering provided camp-style burgers and custom cocktails with RAD-branded ice cubs by Ice Bulb!

This year, we were able to host 30 tables and had a 54% increase in guest attendance from our last gala! With the help of our 56 RAD Camp ambassadors and more than 350 attendees, we were able to raise…

Drumroll please…

More than $440,000!!!!!!!!!!!
