We are thrilled to share the incredible success of our recent fundraiser, the LovED Gala, held on February 10th at the Manor House in Mason, OH. With the support of our generous donors and dedicated team, we raised just over $40,000 (after expenses), which will directly contribute to funding our ongoing projects in Guatemala.
The LovED Gala was a night filled with inspiration, gratitude, and celebration. Attendees indulged in a variety of activities, including silent and live auctions, live music, a plated meal, an open bar, and much more. The atmosphere was electric as guests mingled, bid on auction items, and enjoyed the entertainment.
A highlight of the evening was the surprise video revealing huge progress on the construction of the trade school in Guatemala. This project represents the collaborative effort of several organizations supporting Hogar Miguel Magone in Guatemala. Infinite Chance's main role will be providing funding for bringing in teachers and programs from accredited, existing trade schools in Guatemala, ensuring that the students receive the highest quality education and training.
In addition to the festivities, the evening featured a presentation by our founder, Danielle Weaver, and speeches delivered by key members of our organization, including Vice President Aaron Mott, Secretary Jackie Matisse, Founder of Hogar Miguel Magone Karen Rodas, and Board member Kevin Crist. Our esteemed host for the evening was Anna Paola Estrada, the Education Chair of Infinite Chance, whose warmth and enthusiasm set the perfect tone for the event.
We are immensely grateful to our presenting sponsor, Benchmark Gensuite, whose support was instrumental in making the LovED Gala a resounding success. Their commitment to our cause is deeply appreciated and has made a significant difference in our ability to further our mission.

Looking ahead, we are excited to announce that Infinite Chance plans to host the LovED Gala every two years, with the date already set for the next event on February 14, 2026. We encourage you to mark your calendars and join us as we continue to make a positive impact in Guatemala and beyond.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended the event, donated, contributed items for the auction, sponsored, volunteered, or helped in absolutely any way! Your generosity and support are invaluable in helping us create brighter futures for the communities we serve. Together, we are truly making a difference.
