Why Gentle Ben Night Matters
Last year’s inaugural Gentle Ben Night exceeded all expectations, doubling projected contributions and demonstrating the profound impact Ricky had on our community. This exclusive gathering allows us to honor Ricky in the way he would have loved – through authentic fellowship and generous hearts. “The generosity shown at our first Gentle Ben Night was extraordinary and showed us just how many lives Ricky touched.” – Jamie Ford
