SAPPHIRE GALA

SAPPHIRE GALA is the inaugural signature event of Spirit of Refuge — an evening of recognition, restoration, and refuge.

On Saturday, February 27, 2027, at The Bottling Company in Downtown Hattiesburg, supporters, volunteers, community partners, churches, and businesses will come together to celebrate the year behind us and honor those who have helped sustain this work.

Through a recognition ceremony and the presentation of community awards, the evening shines a light on the generosity, service, and faithfulness that have helped carry the love of Jesus Christ into the streets, shelters, and encampments where refuge is needed most. It is a night for everyone who shares our concern for our neighbors to stand together in gratitude and renewed resolve, because this is holy work, and it cannot be done alone.

As we celebrate, we also look toward the people still waiting to be reached; every guest and every sponsor helps put compassion in motion as Spirit of Refuge steps into its next chapter of outreach.
