2025 MCHS LIGHT THE WAY GALA

LIGHTING THE WAY FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN DETROIT AND BEYOND

Join us for the 2025 MCHS Light the Way Gala

The Countdown is On! Mark your calendar: Friday, October 10, 2025.

Last year, you danced, dined, and shined under the lights… and this year, we’re turning up the glow even brighter! We are honored to welcome Detroit Lions legend Herman Moore and his wife, Angela, as our Honorary Chairs and Keynote Speakers. Herman, a Hall of Fame inductee, is a tireless advocate for youth, education, and opportunity, while Angela draws from her own journey to champion mental health, resilience, and empowerment. Together, they help us shine a spotlight on the children and families who inspire our mission every day.

Just like last year, we’re keeping it fun — dress in your Lions colors and rock your sneakers for a night effortless style and comfort. Expect an evening filled with laughter, live entertainment, delicious bites, and a celebration of the heart and purpose! It’s going to be legendary.

When you attend our annual gala, you’re doing more than showing up for a great night. You’re standing with children who deserve stability. With parents working to build better futures. With a city where every family deserves a fair shot. Whether you’re there for the cause, the company, or the celebration — when you show up, you Light the Way.
