Annual Getaway & Give 2026
Imagine a weekend where purpose and paradise meet in perfect harmony, where every moment of enjoyment creates real change for children who need it most.
The Annual Getaway & Give Weekend is where extraordinary people gather. Entrepreneurs, philanthropists, leaders, and innovators come together because they believe that the greatest luxury in life is the ability to give generously and see the immediate impact of that generosity.
Set in the breathtaking Dominican Republic, this three day experience is designed for those who value beauty, culture, connection, and purpose. Guests enjoy beachfront dinners, live music, intimate conversations, dancing under the stars, and a signature gala evening that has become a highlight of the year. Every detail is curated to create a feeling of ease, warmth, and community against a backdrop of turquoise water and white sand.
At the center of this weekend is a mission that matters. The funds raised support education, nutrition, and opportunity for children in the Dominican Republic. Every conversation, every connection, and every bid placed in the live and silent auctions directly touches the lives of students who are building their futures through learning.
The auction is a celebration in itself. Private villas, exclusive getaways, rare culinary experiences, and curated adventures are offered not only as indulgences but as investments in the next generation. Each item carries the promise of hope and creates the possibility of a better tomorrow for a child who deserves every chance to thrive.
Whether this is your first time attending or you are returning to reconnect with familiar faces, you will leave with more than memories. You will leave with a renewed sense of purpose, a deeper connection to a remarkable community, and the knowledge that your presence created a tangible and lasting impact.
Join us March 5 to 7, 2026 for a weekend that elevates the meaning of giving.
