Events
The Foundation hosts a number of highly-anticipated signature events each year that provide funding for our programs.
- The Scholarship Awards event is held near the end of each school year. Community organizations and individual scholarship funders enjoy meeting their student and a parent, as the awards are presented.

- Our Annual Gala is honors New Haven’s Diamonds in Education. Enjoy great entertainment, including music and casino games. Count on excellent food, friendly bartenders and staff, and of course, decadent desserts.
