A Sparkling Evening at the Always Dream Gala

On October 11th, we had the pleasure of attending the Always Dream Gala at the historic Palace Hotel in San Francisco—a truly magical evening dedicated to empowering children and families through literacy. Hosted by Kristi Yamaguchi’s Always Dream, the event raised an incredible $721,000 to provide books, reading resources, and family engagement tools to children and families across California and Hawaiʻi.

Heller Jewelers was honored to play a small part in the night’s sparkle, dressing Kristi Yamaguchi and others from the Always Dream team in diamonds and brilliance for the occasion. Each piece was thoughtfully selected to complement the evening’s elegance and celebrate the inspiring mission behind the gala.

We were also proud to donate the Medallion Necklace, from the Always Dream by Heller Jewelers Necklace Collection. One lucky raffle winner took home this meaningful piece—symbolizing not only timeless beauty but also the power of giving back.

Guests also had the chance to bid on a Valentine’s Day private shopping experience for five couples at Heller Jewelers, an exclusive evening of romance, luxury, and personalized service.

The night was a wonderful success filled with generosity, celebration, and community spirit. We’re grateful to have shared in such an inspiring event and to continue supporting the Always Dream Foundation in its mission to help children discover the joy of reading.

Until next year—thank you, Always Dream, for reminding us that when we dream together, we can make an extraordinary impact.
