AFFA Gala 2026

The 2026 AFFA Spring Gala was nothing short of spectacular. South Carolina’s most influential leaders, advocates, and allies gathered for an unforgettable evening of exquisite dining, electrifying performances, and record-breaking generosity.

Guests danced late into the night, raised their paddles high for once-in-a-lifetime luxury auction packages, and stood together to honor our 2026 awardees: Patti O'Furniture (Linda Ketner Founder's Award), Domenico Ruggerio (Community Impact Award), and our Legislative Heroes, Sen. Brad Hutto, Rep. Courtney Waters, and Rep. John King.

From the dazzling show featuring Patti herself, to the joyous, packed dance floor, the evening was a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together.

Thank you to our incredible sponsors, donors, and guests who made this milestone night possible. Because of you, AFFA will continue to build a safer, more equitable South Carolina for years to come.
