An Evening of Elegance and Purpose
Mark your calendars for February 14, 2026, as we gather at The Grand Pavilion at Homestead Hollow for an unforgettable evening dedicated to education, community, and impact. Doors open at 6:00 PM.
This year’s gala will be a dazzling celebration filled with:
- 🍽️ A delicious dinner paired with drinks
- 🎶 Live DJ, dancing, and entertainment
- 🎁 Exciting live and online auctions featuring unique items and experiences
- ❤️ Opportunities to make a direct difference in the lives of local students
Every ticket, table, and sponsorship fuels brighter futures for children across St. Clair County. Last year, the foundation awarded over $24,700 in grants directly to classrooms, and with your support, we’re set to exceed $25,500 this year.
🎭 Whether you join as an individual guest or as a Platinum, Gold, or Silver sponsor, your presence ensures that teachers and students have the resources they need to thrive.
