Grateful Support

We are grateful to gather each year to support Concordia's students. In 2024, we set a Gala of Stars record by raising over $800,000!

Over the last decade, the Gala of Stars has raised more than $5,000,000. Through your generosity, we can continue to provide critical funds to our students, 100% of whom receive some form of financial aid. Join us in person, become a sponsor, or donate so we can equip the next generation.
