Some evenings entertain us. Others inspire us. A rare few have the power to change lives.

On Saturday, August 8, 2026, we invite you to step into an extraordinary evening of elegance, purpose, and impact at our Annual Gala, a celebration where generosity meets opportunity and every guest helps create brighter futures for students in need.

This year’s theme, inspired by the glamour and optimism of the Roaring Twenties, promises a dazzling Great Gatsby-style experience filled with sparkle, sophistication, and meaning. Dress in your most glamorous attire and prepare for an unforgettable night at the beautiful Crowne Plaza Ballroom in Plainsboro, New Jersey.

The evening will begin with a sophisticated cocktail reception and networking experience, offering guests the chance to connect with changemakers, community leaders, and supporters who share a passion for education and opportunity. Guests will then enjoy an exquisite gourmet dinner service, followed by a lively evening of entertainment, inspiration, and celebration.

Expect a distinguished keynote speaker, moving stories of transformed lives, a spectacular live auction and raffle, and swinging live music and dancing that capture the spirit of the Jazz Age while celebrating the impact we can make together.

Most importantly, this gala is more than an elegant evening, it is an investment in students and communities. Every ticket purchased, sponsorship secured, and contribution made helps expand educational opportunities and transform lives.
