2025 Gala

Thank you for an unforgettable evening of change!

On April 5, 2025, we held our Annual Gala at Rivers Casino Philadelphia, presented by DeWalt.

Congratulations to DeWalt who was honored as Partner of the Year for their unwavering support of education and workforce development. 

Principal Will Brown won our Educator of the Year award, for his leadership and commitment to student success at Parkway West H.S.

The Pay it Forward Scholarship was awarded to Sykeem Brogon for his resilience and drive to succeed.



We also introduced a new category, the 215 Changemaker Award, which went to Philadelphia Freeway for his dedication to empowering young people!

Thank you to our sponsors
