Why This Evening Matters

Help Write the First Chapter

This inaugural benefit will help establish The Guerra Youth Foundation's youth programming and organizational launch. Every seat filled and every gift given becomes part of the foundation's very first story — one written for, and with, young people.

Mental Health Advocacy

Standing with young people so no one faces their hardest seasons alone.

Education & Academic Confidence

Helping students believe in their abilities and pursue their goals.

Leadership Development

Growing a generation of leaders rooted in courage, purpose, and hope.

Community Service

Turning compassion into action in the communities young people call home.

Meet the Founders

Jaden & Gianni Guerra

Two brothers with one conviction: that young people deserve to be believed in.
