You're cordially invited to our 25th Anniversary Celebration!
25 Years Of Service & Counting!
For a quarter of a century, we have stood with our community challenging injustice, amplifying voices, and building power where it has too often been denied.
Now, we invite you to celebrate this legacy and help shape the future with us at our 25th Annual Award Gala on Saturday, October 18th, 2025, at the Lumcolor Phoenix Center in Ontario, CA.
This special evening will be a vibrant celebration of community, comedy, love, and legacy as we honor those who have tirelessly championed equity and uplifted our people across the Inland Empire. But this year’s gala is more than a reflection on the past; it’s a launchpad into our next chapter.
Purchase your ticket now! We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Become a Founding Sponsor of the R.O.O.T. Center!
We are raising funds not to sustain our work, but to develop the R.O.O.T. (Reaching Others, Overcoming Together) Center, a first-of-its-kind community hub for active change.
The R.O.O.T Center, the place where radical belonging and justice meets the beloved community, is a partnership between C.O.P.E., New Life Christian Church (NLCC), and New Life Connection/Community Development Corporation (NLCDC) that will serve as a physical space dedicated to training organizers, building civic power, hosting healing spaces, and nurturing the leadership of those most impacted by injustice.
We have a sponsorship kit that holds details on how your partnership can make this vision a reality while positioning your organization as a true champion of equity and transformation. Your support will help us continue the work while also planting seeds that will grow for generations to come.
If you have any questions or would like to confirm your sponsorship, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Kami Winfrey at

Pastor Samuel Casey
