2026 Annual Dinner & Celebration of Philanthropy

The Community Foundation of Howard County’s 2026 Annual Dinner & Celebration of Philanthropy will take place on Tuesday, November 17. Please join us as we gather for a joyous evening of food, fellowship and philanthropy. The event will be held in the Cameo Ballroom at Turf Valley Resort and is likely to sell out. We recommend you purchase tickets early.

The evening starts with a delightful cocktail reception at 6 p.m., followed by a delicious plated dinner and program highlighted by the presentation of the Foundation’s Philanthropist of the Year awards.

The Annual Dinner & Celebration of Philanthropy is also an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the terrific work of donors, nonprofits and volunteers. The Foundation will present the Leadership Council Award to an up-and-coming nonprofit leader, the Casey & Pebble Willis “Making a Difference” Award, spotlighting a nonprofit doing great work in our community, along with the Jean Moon Legacy Builder Award and the Amanda and Jill Dean Direct Support Professional Award.
