The Event

Please join us for our Celebration of Champions! This important celebration showcases our vibrant community, board members, students, and volunteers. Due to COVID-19, our annual event Celebration of Champions, formerly Nights of Champions, will be a hybrid event of virtual and in-person elements with our top donors and sponsors on Friday, February 26th, 2021 at the Naples Grande Beach Resort. We look forward to sharing the stories of this year’s Champions and the impact they have made in our community. Our event will raise the funds needed to ensure our student programs will continue to help change lives for generations to come.

Past Honorees

While the names of the recognitions have evolved over the years, the purpose has always remained the same: to honor and recognize the amazing commitment and leadership our community has provided for learning and the success of students.
