The 12th annual Harry K Foundation Christmas Gala was held Dec. 14, at the Rehoboth Beach Country Club. It was a festive evening of giving, community and celebration to fight childhood hunger in Delaware. 

The event, themed Golden Hour, featured a gourmet dinner, open bar and live entertainment by The Funsters and 2nd Time Around. A live and silent auction featured Harry K custom jewelry and culinary-themed travel excursions.

All funds from the evening support the Harry K Foundation’s efforts to combat childhood hunger in Delaware. The foundation, established by Harry Keswani, raises funds to help end the problem of food insecurity in Delaware. Funds are dispersed through the Food Bank of Delaware to support school backpack programs and 50 school pantries in Delaware.
