LEAP Year Event Reception – Looking Ahead to LYE 2027!
Building on the incredible energy of last year's gathering, we are excited to gear up for LYE 2027 this coming February! Looking back at our last LEAP Year Event, more than 300 supporters came together at the Dixwell Community (Q) House and raised over $600,000 to keep LEAP’s free, year-round programs thriving for New Haven youth.
As we prepare for another extraordinary evening of community and conversation, we want to extend our ongoing gratitude to our inspiring speakers, dedicated counselors and staff, and generous dinner hosts who open their doors across Greater New Haven. We also look forward to honoring our Guests of Honor.
The countdown to February is on! Additional details on host dinners, reception timing, and ways to get involved for LYE 2027 will be shared soon.
To everyone who attended, hosted, sponsored, volunteered, and gave last year—and to those joining us again this coming February: thank you. Your continued support ensures that LEAP keeps opening doors of opportunity for Greater New Haven youth year after year.
