Thinking Outside The Box

This is an event like none other you’ve seen before. Stepping Stone has thrown some of the best Galas in the past several years and this time, we’re “unnovating” again. How could we possibly plan a Gala in 2020? 

Here's How It Works

Purchase Virtual Table

Purchase your virtual table of 10 and invite your friends. Depending on your comfort level, have them over to your back yard, or plan to eat separately, together.

Deliver a box of goodies

The day before the Gala, we'll deliver a box of goodies to your front door with everything you need to participate in the festivities. The un-boxing is going to be everything. Each box has something just for you, and we want to see videos and pictures when you discover what's inside.

Join in the festivities on Friday, October 23

Use your box to decorate and adorn. Dress or undress for success. Show your Stepping Stone Spirit. And tuck in for one of the wildest hours you can imagine on our star-spangled celebrity Zoom Room!
