2026 Gala, Auction & After Party
May 2, 2026
Inspired by the natural beauty that defines the Pacific Northwest, this year’s gala celebrates what lasts. Evergreens of the forest do not flourish overnight — they grow steadily, ring by ring, season by season, their roots intertwining together. In the same way, our education ecosystem is built over time, sustained by community, and strengthened through collective care.
This evening is a gathering under a shared canopy of educators, families, donors, partners, and advocates united by a belief that public education is a public good, and that when we invest together, students thrive for generations.
When we show up together, we create a canopy of support that allows 50,000 Seattle Public Schools students to grow and flourish.
