A Night of Strength Gala 2026

Thank You for Standing with Our Duchenne Families

What a beautiful, inspiring, and impactful evening! Each of you generously gave your time, resources, and hearts to support a cause that means so much to so many. Whether you’ve been part of the Walking Strong family for years or learned about Duchenne for the first time, your presence and support made a meaningful difference.

The Llauro Family

On behalf of the entire Duchenne community, we extend our deepest THANK YOU. Your kindness, generosity, and willingness to stand with these families remind us of the strength that comes when we unite for a purpose.

At its core, A Night of Strength Gala has always been about more than raising critical funds. It’s about building a community of warriors who walk alongside families affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, ensuring no family ever faces this journey alone.

Help Us Cross the Finish Line

We are so close to reaching our goal for the evening, but we still need your help to cross the finish line!

We hope to raise $20,000 more to reach our $400,000 goal. Every donation matters; that extra $20,000 will directly help multiple families receive invaluable, regular mindset coaching throughout the entire year.

Didn’t get a chance to attend or donate yet? It’s not too late!

We are just a few thousand short of our goal, but there is still time left to give and make a lasting impact for Duchenne families.

How You Can Continue to Walk Strong with Us

As we move forward, we ask that you continue to support our mission in every way you can:

  • Keep Our Families in Mind: Keep our courageous Duchenne families in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate daily challenges.
  • Share Our Mission: Help us spread awareness by sharing our story and fundraising goal with your friends, family, and network.
  • Give Your Time & Talents: Think of Walking Strong whenever opportunities arise to share your time, talents, or resources.

We are so grateful for each of you and look forward to gathering again, celebrating the progress we’ve made together, and sharing the lives you’ve helped us touch.

We look forward to seeing you again soon and sharing the incredible progress we’ve made together.
