The Gala of Stars

2019 Gala of Stars Reaches Record High

Saturday, April 25, 2020
5:00 PM
Concordia University Irvine

The evening showcases Concordia University Irvine’s Performing and Fine Arts students. Proceeds from the Gala of Stars benefit Concordia University Irvine’s student scholarship fund to assist with the education of future leaders. With more than 97 percent of Concordia undergraduate students supported by some form of financial aid, scholarships serve as an important resource to ease the financial burden of higher education.

We are so grateful for the fabulous support of our friends, alumni, and community, who are making it possible for young men and women to receive a Christian education that takes them out into the world as teachers, business professionals, nurses, pastors, scientists, musicians, and many other careers.
