BNT's 2026 40th Anniversary Gala

Join BNT for our 2026 40th Anniversary Gala, a special evening celebrating four decades of affordable housing, homeownership, financial empowerment, and community impact.

The evening will include cocktails, a seated dinner, and recognition of our honorees and accomplishments. We are excited to welcome Bridgeport-based Orquesta Afinke, one of the region’s most popular Latin bands, for an evening of live music and dancing. Bring a personal guest and make it a night out.  

Registered guests may also sign up for one free beginner Latin dance class on October 1 or October 22 through BNT's gala webpage.  

Individual reservations are $175. Individual reservation holders may add one Personal Guest Add-On Reservation for $100.

Cocktail and gala attire encouraged.

Your support helps BNT expand affordable housing, homeownership, housing stability, and financial opportunity across Connecticut.
