UCP Heartland's 'Rising Above' Gala & Auction is a premier fundraising event, designed to support individuals with differing abilities and promote inclusive communities. This elegant evening will take place at 6:00pm on March 1st, 2025 at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac!

Our theme, Rising Above, embodies the spirit of overcoming challenges and striving for excellence. Attendees will enjoy a sophisticated cocktail hour, a gourmet dinner, and wonderful live entertainment. The highlight of the evening is our silent & live auctions, featuring exclusive items and experiences, with all proceeds directly benefiting UCP Heartland’s programs and services.

This year’s gala promises to be a memorable occasion, with inspiring stories from those whose lives have been transformed by UCP Heartland, and a call to action to continue supporting the mission of creating opportunities and advancing independence for people with differing abilities.
