Throughout the years, Aviva’s gala has evolved—new honorees, new spaces, growing audiences. But our purpose has remained the same: uplifting children, youth, and families across Los Angeles.

This year, as we gather on Mother’s Day weekend, we celebrate all caregivers—mothers, fathers, foster parents, and those who step up in countless ways.

Join us for an evening of inspiring stories, live music, and community. Together, we’ll help our legacy bloom.
