The Coast Cares Gala

The 2026 Coast Cares Gala brought together more than 250 supporters at the Monterey Bay Aquarium for an unforgettable evening celebrating our Ecosystem of Hope — the people, partnerships, and communities working together to create opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities and mental health needs. With special guest Olympic gold medalist and world champion Kristi Yamaguchi, inspiring stories from the people we serve, and incredible support from our community, the evening raised approximately $350,000 to advance Hope Services’ mission. Thank you to everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, volunteered, and helped make this special evening possible. Together, we are building an Ecosystem of Hope where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
