Open School Gala 2026

Celebrating 50+ Years of Reinventing Education

Join us for an uplifting evening honoring more than five decades of innovation, impact, and student success at Open School.

Begin the night with a welcoming reception and hosted drinks before moving into a dynamic program featuring powerful student stories, firsthand accounts of our work in action, and a look ahead at what’s possible for our community. Guests will enjoy a seated dinner while hearing from leaders, advocates, and alumni who embody the spirit and resilience of Open School.

Throughout the evening, you’ll have opportunities to fuel our mission—supporting individualized learning, mentorship, and advocacy so every student can thrive. From inspiring live-giving moments to meaningful ways to get involved, your participation helps open doors for young people across our region.

Let’s gather to celebrate, connect, and create lasting change—because when we invest in students, we invest in our shared future. Reserve your seat today!
