Two signature events per year. Small rooms. Serious impact. Every ticket, table, and sponsorship maps directly to a Midlands scholar's next semester.
Our fundraising calendar is intentionally compact. We'd rather host two unforgettable evenings than twelve forgettable ones. Every sponsorship level is tied to a specific scholarship outcome, and every guest leaves knowing exactly which student their ticket helped.
An enchanting evening in a hidden oasis — live R&B, fine food and drink, a cigar lounge, and a DJ for dancing under the stars. The annual moment when the Midlands philanthropic community meets the students it has been funding.
Tickets from $70. Table sponsorships available from $1,500. Every ticket ≈ one semester's books. Every table ≈ one semester of tuition.
Buy TicketsAn upscale winter affair raising funds for the XII Scholarship Fund. Live entertainment, a scholar spotlight reveal, and direct on-site giving — the room that builds the spring-semester emergency fund.
2026 result: A full cohort of scholars had their spring textbook costs covered in week one.
See Past EventsThe best fundraiser is the one where no one at the table needs to ask what their money is doing. We try to host only those. Two events a year let us do the prep right, pick the right scholars to spotlight, and keep sponsors in genuine relationship with the community they're backing.
Events also do something a wire transfer cannot — they introduce donors to scholars and to each other. Roughly half our recurring Builder tier signed up after meeting a scholar in person.
Want to sponsor a table, host a satellite fundraiser, or invite us to present at your company's CSR program? We have a ready-made deck, a scholar or two willing to speak, and sponsorship tiers that map cleanly to corporate giving reports.
Two evenings. A handful of Saturdays. A dozen students whose tuition just showed up on time.
