2019 West Coast Gala
IRVINE – JUNE 8-9, 2019
What’s the difference between an ordinary life and one lived with courage?
Is it a life defined by circumstances? By challenges, by victories? What if being brave wasn’t just being “super hero” courageous? What if being brave is about seeing opportunities and connections where other people see obstacles?
This year, we are inviting you to explore the ways in which we all have the Courage to Connect. Human connection is a vulnerable exchange between people who are paying attention to one another. It has the power to deepen the moment, inspire change, build trust and transform the way we live.
