Gonzaga alumni and friends are invited to this beloved annual event, now in its 46th year, with the theme “The Pursuit of Knowledge.” For nearly half a century, this gathering has celebrated generosity and the transformative power of education.
Event Details
Gonzaga University’s scholarship programs create lasting, multigenerational impact. Families benefit in ways that extend beyond a single student, with many former recipients choosing to give back through gifts that support future students. This event honors a tradition of community, compassion and shared success.
The gathering will take place in a new on-campus location this year, John J. Hemmingson Center Ballroom, and will feature great door prizes, delicious food and beverages along with inspiring stories from Gonzaga students whose lives have been changed by scholarships
