The Education Gala
Event Details
The Annual Education Gala
The Education Gala is the signature annual event for The Education Foundation of Alachua County. More than just a formal evening, it serves as a powerful bridge between our community’s generous supporters and the students and educators who are shaping our future. In addition to the festivities, guests have the chance to participate in an exciting silent auction and our popular wine pull, as well as explore other unique opportunities to raise funds for our foundation, all while enjoying an unforgettable evening.
Each year, the Gala brings together business leaders, community advocates, and devoted citizens for a night of celebration and purpose. It is our primary vehicle for raising the vital funds necessary to bridge the gap between basic school funding and the exceptional resources our Alachua County Public School students and teachers deserve.
What’s in store:
- Happy Hour Extravaganza from 6-7 pm: Enjoy a happy hour like no other, featuring student performers, hors d’oeuvres, and drinks
- Dinner Delights from 7-9: Our main event showcases live entertainment by the talented students of Alachua County Public Schools
- Voices of Impact: Listen to the heartwarming stories of students and teachers as they share the incredible influence of The Education Foundation of Alachua County
Proceeds from The Education Gala help us continue our vital work, including programs:
- For Students—Supporting the Take Stock in Children mentoring program for at-risk youth
- For Teachers—Fostering innovation through Catalyst for Change Teacher Grants
- For the Future—Providing Senior Scholarships to make college dreams come true
