The Legacy of Home Gala, scheduled for November 12 at Los Angeles' Radford Studios, will celebrate A Sense of Home co-founders Georgie Smith and Melissa Goddard.

The organization has also been active in disaster relief, assisting 1,000 families after the 2025 L.A. wildfires.

Notable figures like Karen Pittman will serve as emcee, with a host committee including Jennifer Garner, Tobey Maguire, and many others, underscoring the broad support for A Sense of Home's impactful work in fostering stable homes and communities for vulnerable youth.
