ABOUT CELEBRATES On Lok Celebrates brings together over 600 friends, partners, seniors, staff, and volunteers for a magical evening to celebrate and fundraise for On Lok’s services and programs benefitting seniors in our community. Our 2024 gala will include an opening networking reception featuring delicious local and interactive cuisine and live entertainment, an auction including unique packages and inspirational fund-a-need, and an unforgettable dessert and dance after party. We are thrilled to share that we will be hosting this year’s gala at Pier 27 in San Francisco. With gorgeous waterfront views of the Bay Bridge and two floors of contemporary space, Pier 27 will make an amazing home for On Lok Celebrates.
