Gala & Auction

Gala & Auction

Each year, UCP Heartland hosts a memorable Gala & Auction to celebrate our achievements, spotlight the inspiring journey of a client who has reached remarkable milestones, and honor a community member whose unwavering support makes a lasting impact.

 

The Where Hope Blooms Gala & Auction, held March 7, 2026, at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac, was an unforgettable evening made possible by the incredible support of our sponsors, guests, and volunteers. Thank you for helping us turn hope into lasting impact—we can’t wait to build on this success together next year.
