The theme of our upcoming gala, Hearts United: For a Community Love Story, is an invitation to come together and participate in a story shaped by service, unity, and God’s love at work among us. This is a call for hearts to unite and for love to be lived out in tangible ways across our neighborhoods.

Compassion Connect’s mission remains simple and strong: Uniting to Serve. It is a love story written not by one organization alone, but by churches, businesses, community partners, and individuals who choose to link arms for the good of others. Together, we believe real and lasting change is possible.

Compassion Connect does not belong to one group or one season. It is a calling for all of us. Our goal is not merely to help families endure hardship, but to walk alongside them as they move toward hope, healing, and thriving futures. When hearts unite, communities are strengthened and stories are transformed.

We are living in a moment marked by both physical and spiritual needs. Yet we firmly believe the answer rests within the people of God. The need is greater than any one church or organization can meet alone, but when hearts unite, the story changes. Since 2011, Compassion Connect has been bringing local churches and organizations together to serve Arizona communities. Thousands of lives have been impacted, and there are still many chapters waiting to be written.

We invite you to join us as a sponsor or attendee for our 7th Annual Compassion Gala, taking place on February 13th, 2026, at Encanterra. This year’s gala blends timeless elegance with joyful celebration, creating a beautiful evening filled with connection, inspiration, and purpose.

The evening will celebrate how God’s people have come together to create lasting impact through Compassion Connect. Guests can expect an elegant evening filled with meaningful connection, a shared meal, celebration, and moments that remind us why love in action truly matters.
