This year, we’re dialing up the dazzle for an unforgettable evening that features everything we love: celebrating together while helping students thrive.

Join your fellow fans, friends, and champions for an event packed with pre- and postgame fun, all-star photo opportunities, and an incredible program. Bring your team spirit (and your sparkle) as we light up the night and rally together to change lives. Because when our community comes together, we can help all kids feel like All-Stars.

A Winning Cause

At the end of the day, we know the real win is ensuring that all students have the health, hunger, and hygiene resources they need to succeed in school. Success means ensuring that children who need it most receive items like a brand new bed to sleep in, weather-appropriate shoes to wear to school, and a full dinner so they can focus the next day.

When these needs are met, kids in our community can truly shine.
