Join us for our annual Gala,
The Golden Age of Gulliver: Est. 1926,
as we celebrate 100 years of excellence and power our future.

The Gala, one of our annual signature fundraising events, powers The Gulliver Fund, our annual, immediate-use giving campaign. Every dollar raised fuels Next-Level Teaching & Learning and Thriving Students, providing the essential resources to enhance curriculum, expand programs, and elevate our campus experience in real time.

Last year, thanks to your incredible generosity, we achieved a record-breaking $1.2 million, opening new doors of opportunity and strengthening every aspect of the Gulliver experience.

This year, as we celebrate our Centennial and launch The Next 100: The Centennial Campaign for Gulliver, we’re setting our sights even higher. Join us for this historic moment as we honor our past, celebrate our present, and invest boldly in our future.

Thank you to our 2026 Gala Sponsors
