Impact - Why it Matters
The KAW High Tea Gala is more than a fundraiser; it is a celebration of the women leaders who shape the Long Beach community and a critical source of support for Scouting programs that empower young people. By honoring trailblazers in government, media, arts, law enforcement, education, and volunteerism, the event inspires the next generation of leaders. The proceeds ensure that youth from all backgrounds can access leadership development, outdoor education, and scholarships, fostering character and community service. This investment in youth not only strengthens the local community but also builds a more equitable and engaged society.
