An Important Update on the Hope & Pearls Gala
So many of you are reaching out..

Dear Friends, Sponsors, and Donors of the Hope & Pearls Gala,

Thank you for your unwavering support and continued belief in our mission. Your generosity and partnership mean more than words can express.

Due to our Executive Director’s ongoing health journey, we have made the thoughtful decision to postpone the 2026 Hope & Pearls Gala. Dr. Tonya Stafford underwent surgery on December 29, 2025, and as she focuses on recovery over the next six weeks, we are sharing this message on her behalf with her permission. Please keep her in your thoughts she looks forward to returning stronger than ever.

This decision reflects our deep commitment to stewardship, intentional planning, and prioritizing the needs of those we serve.

We are excited to share that the Hope & Pearls Gala will return in January 2027 at the Hilton Anatole. This venue has already been secured thanks to the generosity of the Stein Foundation (confirmed in April 2025), and we are truly grateful for their support.

How You Can Help Right Now

We are asking that you consider submitting your sponsorship donation now, just as you normally would. Many of our major sponsors and donors have already done so, and we extend our heartfelt thanks for their continued commitment.

Your partnership has always been the heartbeat of Hope & Pearls—and now, more than ever, your support truly matters.

Please stay tuned with great anticipation. In 2026, we will host two meaningful events to help bridge the gap until the return of the Hope & Pearls Gala January 18, 2027. We will need each and every one of you as we continue this important work together.

Thank you for giving with purpose.

With gratitude,
Dr. Tonya Stafford
Executive Director
It’s Going To Be OK, Inc.

💛 Community Update from It’s Going To Be OK, Inc. 💛

We’ve been non-stop busy serving survivors — and we want to take a moment to thank our incredible supporters, donors, and prayer warriors who make this work possible.

All of our homes are currently full, including our emergency housing (which now includes hotel stays). Every bed is a story of hope and healing. 🕊️

A huge thank-you to UT Southwestern for your amazing partnership, help, and ongoing support.

To Friendship-West Baptist Church and the phenomenal Mrs. Debra P. Haynes you are a true rock!

When we had three baby deliveries just a week apart and no funds for bassinets, I texted you called and within an hour, you made it happen.

This is what community and collaboration look like! 🍼❤️
To Women Empowering Women thank you for decorating our spaces and turning them into homes for them. The love and care you’ve shown to our girls and families mean so much. We love you all deeply! When we come together we have so much fun and its powerful.

And to the Black and Missing Foundation Derrica and Natalie thank you powerful women, for stepping in to cover emergency stays and rent, and for always answering the call. You are a blessing to us and to so many.

Together, we’re showing what happens when love, faith, and community unite to make sure It’s Going To Be OK. ❤️ their faces are covered now we wanted y'all to see them earlier to let you know these are real people real stories.
