After 2006, except for 2009 and 2017, the Annual Fundraising Event Chairs started selecting gala themes that matched their interests and expertise. Each year, a new theme emerges, ranging from Pirates, Speakeasies, Mermaids, Bourbon Street, Astronauts, Old Havana, Cowboys, Cowgirls, Dreamboats, dolls, and more.
