Morris Plains, N.J., December 3, 2025
— Rose House, a nonprofit organization that creates homes for people with special needs, is proud to announce the return of its signature fundraising event after a seven-year hiatus. Rose House Gala will be held on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., at The Grove in Cedar Grove, New Jersey.
All proceeds will benefit the organization’s Forever Home Project. Expected for completion in 2027, it will provide affordable, accessible housing for 12 adults with developmental disabilities in Chester Township, New Jersey.
Rose House Gala will bring together community members, families, and supporters to celebrate inclusion and independence while raising funds to make another Rose House forever home possible. Guests will enjoy a cocktail reception, seated dinner, live entertainment from Anthony Duke Claus, dancing, and a silent and live auction featuring exclusive items and experiences. 
“Sustained community support allows us to continue giving people with special needs the opportunity to live with dignity and a sense of purpose,” said Tom Mitchell, CEO of Rose House. “We are thrilled to bring back our gala, not just as a fundraiser, but as a celebration of the residents, families, and supporters who make this mission possible.”
