Hear from Single Mothers Outreach’s Sam Birdsong, who gives a preview of the 2023 Empowering HeArts gala, the signature fundraising event for Single Mothers Outreach that helps support their programs for single-parent families so they can continue benefiting from resources and services such as food, clothing, therapy, money management classes, emergency housing, and more.

Empowering HeArts 2023 will honor the efforts of single mothers who are “Building Hope” for their children. The annual event culminates in a gala and art exhibit showcasing artwork created for the event. The gala introduces the art collection to the public and two prizes are awarded:

Dottie Award: Named for Dorothy Smith. The recipient is chosen by the jury for creating the most compelling visual story.

People’s Choice Award: The recipient is chosen by Gala attendees.
