Get Involved
You don’t need a company to make a difference.
Sponsorship is one way to stand with October One — but it isn’t the only way. Here’s how individuals can get involved, no company required.
Ways To Help
Four ways to stand with us.
Every gathering runs on people who show up, give what they can, and tell others — not just corporate checks.
Attend the Gala
Show up on October 1, 2026. A full room is the clearest sign of support the Embassy, sponsors, and our community can see.
Volunteer Your Time
From event-day logistics to planning committees, we always need hands and ideas ahead of and during the celebration.
Make a Donation
Our 501(c)(3) application is pending — every gift, large or small, goes directly toward the mission and running the celebration well.
Spread the Word
Tell your community, your church, your alumni group, your office. The bigger the gathering, the bigger the statement.
Every Contribution Counts
Where It Goes
Nonprofit discipline, on every dollar and every hour.
