Annual Gala

Thank you for supporting SVT's Flower Power Gala!

248 guests gathered at the Charter Oak Country Club in Hudson on Saturday February 7 for SVT's Flower Power Gala. We were delighted by the incredible turnout, and we are grateful for the donors and auction bidders who helped us raise over $250,000, significantly exceeding our fundraising goal! Thank you to everyone who made this success possible, including:

• the businesses and individuals who donated items to our Silent and Online Auctions and to our Bourbon Pull

• the Table Hosts who invited so many wonderful guests;

• David O'Leary, Emcee; and

• DJ Backspin Entertainment, Freddy Fontaine

Thank you also to the Garden Clubs who contributed table centerpieces as part of our Centerpiece Contest. The arrangements were stunning and wonderfully captured the Flower Power theme.

Centerpiece Contest

As a fun tie-in with the Flower Power theme, SVT invited area garden clubs and other groups to create and contribute the centerpieces for the tables at the 2026 Gala. A group of SVT volunteers judged the creations, and we awarded prizes to the top two designs.

Online Auction

As a companion to our Annual Gala, SVT held an Online Auction that was open to everyone.

The Online Auction featured items donated by area businesses and individuals to support SVT's work. The auction ran from Friday, January 31, through Saturday, February 7.
