🔑 We made history.

Thanks to the generosity of our community partners, sponsors, and supporters, the IDEA Promise Foundation's first-ever traveling Key Gala: Unlocking Possibilities raised over $540,000 in support of IDEA students and alumni! 🎓💙

These funds will help open doors to college through scholarships, ensuring more students have the resources they need to succeed through graduation and beyond. From powerful alumni stories and inspiring moments of generosity to an exciting raffle, silent and live auctions, and an electrifying performance by Max Frost, it was truly a night to remember.

And we're just getting started...
