Help For Children Cayman (HFC Cayman) has announced its 2026 Annual Charity Gala, taking place on 14 November at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. The Bridgerton-inspired event, An Evening in the Ton, will bring together supporters, donors and community leaders for an elegant evening of entertainment, fundraising and philanthropy.
Set against the backdrop of an elegant Regency-inspired evening, the gala will welcome 300 guests for live entertainment, fundraising activities and a grand auction, with proceeds supporting programmes that protect children, strengthen families and provide critical assistance across the Cayman Islands.
“This gala is more than a signature fundraising event. It is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when our community comes together to protect children and invest in a safer future,” said Baron Jacob, Chair of HFC Cayman's Committee of Hearts. “We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, donors, volunteers and grantee partners whose generosity continues to make a meaningful difference for children and families across the Cayman Islands.”
“Last year’s Cayman gala raised over CI$330,000, reflecting the generosity and commitment of the Cayman community,” said Sumudu Waas, Director and COO of HFC Global. “These funds help advance HFC’s global mission to prevent and treat child abuse by supporting high-impact programmes, strengthening local partnerships and extending meaningful assistance to children and families who need it most.”
Since its inception, HFC Cayman has invested more than CI$4.8 million in grants and community programmes, from youth mentoring and mental health services to crisis intervention and emergency family assistance, positively impacting more than 30,000 people across the Cayman Islands.
This work is made possible by volunteers, donors, sponsors and valued grantee partners, including organizations such as the Cayman Islands Red Cross, one2one, the National Council of Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), the CAYS Foundation, the Cayman Islands Health Services Authority, the Cayman Islands Crisis Centre, the Alex Panton Foundation and the YMCA of the Cayman Islands. Sponsorship opportunities, table packages and individual tickets are now available through HFC Cayman Islands | An Evening in the Ton - Help for Children.
