About The Gala

Celebrating 40 Years of Heartprints

Many working parents face the challenge of inaccessible childcare, forcing them to decide between providing for their families and ensuring their children’s well-being. Through scholarships tailored to those in financial need, FKO brings historically marginalized children into safe, nurturing, and educational out-of-school time environments where they can thrive. By investing in childcare scholarships, we not only secure a brighter future for children and uplift our communities, creating a ripple effect of positive outcomes that extends far beyond the individual beneficiaries.

Each of us leaves a unique mark on the world – what we call our heartprint. Like fingerprints, heartprints are distinctive patterns that define us, shaping our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Although invisible, heartprints can be felt in the words you say and the things you do. Join us as we celebrate four decades of FKO and help us enable more children to leave their heartprints on the world through kindness and compassion.
