PREVAILs 50-Year Celebration Gala
Friday, October 23, 2026
In 1976, eight women in Stockton came together with a shared vision and a simple act of courage. With just $275 raised through a neighborhood garage sale, they created a lifeline for women and children experiencing violenceat a time when few resources existed.
Fifty years later, that grassroots effort has grown into PREVAILSan Joaquin Countys leading provider of comprehensive, survivor-centered services. Each year, PREVAIL supports thousands of individuals and families on their journey from crisis to safety, healing, and empowerment.
Join us on Friday, October 23, 2026, as we celebrate 50 Years of Advocacy at this milestone gala event.
This unforgettable evening will bring together community leaders, partners, and supporters for a powerful and engaging experience that reflects both the heart of our mission and the strength of our community.
Guests will enjoy:
- A unique, immersive exhibit experience highlighting PREVAILs core programs and advocacy efforts
- Cocktail hour
- Dinner and a dynamic program
- Elevating Voices Experience: A Live Community Lip Sync Showcase
- Opportunities to give back through our Fund-a-Need, auction experiences, and more

More than a celebration, this event is an opportunity to invest in the future of advocacy in San Joaquin County. Your participation helps ensure that when someone reaches out in their most vulnerable moment, PREVAIL can continue to respond with compassion, expertise, and care.
