Epiphany Royale Raises the Stakes at the 29th Annual Benefit Party & Show

Madison DiNapoli Etterman and extended family. and friends.


On Thursday, March 5, the Epiphany League hosted the 29th Annual Benefit Party & Show — Epiphany Royale — an unforgettable evening of glamour, generosity, and game-changing impact in support of Epiphany Center’s life-saving programs.

From the moment guests arrived, the energy was electric. With a playful nod to classic casino nights and the sparkle of the Vegas Strip, attendees were invited to “place their bets” — not just at the tables, but on hope, healing, and the futures of the more than 300 at-risk families Epiphany serves each year.

Since its inception, the Benefit Party & Show has raised more than $3,500,000 to sustain Epiphany’s critical programs for women and children. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of this year’s guests, sponsors, League members, and donors, the 29th annual event raised $175,000 in support of the Agency’s mission.

A highlight of the evening was the Fund-A-Need, where guests went “all in” to meet a bold $100,000 goal to restore Epiphany’s Step-Down Transitional Housing (learn more). This essential program creates safe, stable spaces where women and children can rebuild their lives and continue their recovery journeys. Through raised paddles and open hearts, our community once again demonstrated what’s possible when compassion leads.

The casino floor buzzed with excitement as guests tried their luck at Roulette and Craps and later enjoyed dinner, dancing, and a lively silent auction — thank you to the generous donors who made it possible. The evening culminated in a dynamic musical revue performed by an all-star cast of volunteers whose talent and dedication lit up the stage

A heartfelt thank you to our cast, musical director, creative director, producer, orchestra, and crew — nearly three decades of extraordinary entertainment would not be possible without you.

We are especially grateful to Epiphany Graduate Tasha for sharing her powerful recovery story and the impact Epiphany has had on her family’s life. Her testimony was a moving reminder of why this work matters. Click here to read Tasha’s full remarks.

We also extend our deepest appreciation to our sponsors and Epiphany League members, whose steadfast support ensures this cherished tradition continues to thrive. Special thanks to Party Co-Chairs, Jean Macaluso and Adrienne Murphy for leading another beautiful, inspiring, and successful event.

Epiphany Royale was more than a themed gala — it was a celebration of resilience, recovery, and community. Every spin, bid, and donation will have an impact far beyond a single evening.

To our generous guests and supporters: thank you for raising the stakes for good. Because of you, Epiphany Center continues its 174-year legacy of strengthening families, empowering women in recovery, and creating brighter futures for children.

From all of us at Epiphany Center, thank you for making the 29th Annual Benefit Party & Show a royal success. We look forward to seeing you next year!
