The Touch a Heart Dinner & Auction is Kristi House's signature fundraiser. Proceeds from the event go directly to services provided to children by Kristi House, the non-profit Child Advocacy Center that provides a healing environment for child victims of sexual abuse and their families for all of Miami-Dade County.

Dinner attendance is limited to 300 guests; seats are available at $500 per person; tables of 10 are $5,000 per table. Sponsors committed to purchasing or coordinating a table will receive recognition on all event materials and publicity.
