The Gala will also be an occasion to hear from Horatio Alger alumni who will speak of fortitude and perseverance through personal challenges as well as their successes today.  

Our 2022 Gala raised a record $5.5 million in support of Horatio Alger Scholarships for deserving students who have faced adversity. These Scholarships aren’t just financial support for education, they provide recipients with a supportive community that will guide scholars throughout their careers.
