The Hope Gala RI was founded in 2024 by Allan Millora, owner of Allan Millora Photography. In addition to his work as a professional photographer, Allan brings extensive experience in event management, having served for many years as Blithewold Manor’s Director of Private Events, Membership, and Film & Media Projects.
Allan holds a Bachelor of Professional Studies in Organizational Leadership from Rhode Island College and is currently pursuing a Master of Liberal Arts in Management at Harvard University.
Driven by a passion for community service and inclusion, Allan created The Hope Gala RI as a way to give back to and support the LGBTQIA+ community. Through fundraising, awareness, and community engagement, the gala aims to make a meaningful impact while bringing people together for an important cause.
We hope you will consider supporting this event and helping us make a difference in the lives of LGBTQIA+ individuals throughout our community.
