The 2026 Hearts for Youth Gala: For Good
Presented by Sarnia-Lambton Rebound now celebrating its 25th illustrious year, the Hearts for Youth Gala has grown from a modest gathering of Rebound supporters into one of Sarnia-Lambton’s most anticipated evenings of generosity and celebration. Each year, hundreds of community members, businesses, local dignitaries, and passionate champions of youth gather to raise vital funds and shine a spotlight on the impact of Rebound’s 20+ life-changing programs. This year, we invite you to step into a world where magic, transformation, and friendship take center stage inspired by the Broadway phenomenon Wicked. Themed “For Good”, the 2026 Gala pays tribute to friendship, brave choices, and unwavering belief in possibility that define both the musical and Rebound’s mission. Our goal for this year’s gala is to raise $70,000, ensuring that our programs continue to uplift and empower local youth for another full year. Together, we will also honour the achievements of our incredible participants, dedicated volunteers, hardworking staff, and the many supporters who stand by our side - all in style. Guests will be welcomed into an Oz-worthy evening beginning with a vibrant cocktail reception, complete with themed whimsical refreshments. Spellbinding live performances by local musicians will bring the magic to life, while live and silent auctions offer exclusive items and once-in-a-lifetime experiences to bid on; all for a great cause. Don’t miss the chance to capture your own “Defying Gravity” moment at our professional photo station.💚 Whether you're a longtime Rebound supporter or attending for the first time, this gala promises to be an unforgettable night — one where we come together to make a difference, and leave knowing we’ve done something truly For Good.
