WHERE

Stueckle Sky Center
Boise, ID

The Change Make*Hers Gala is a celebration of grit, grace, and possibility. We honor the women and advocates who’ve broken barriers — and invest in the girls who will break the next. Sports aren’t just about winning. They’re about what’s possible. This night brings it all together: awards, stories, community. Together, we raise the resources that get her in the game — scholarships, gear, mentorship, visibility. It’s not just a gala. It’s action. It’s the start of change.
