The Event
On behalf of the Howard Community College Educational Foundation, thank you for making the 2025 President’s Gala such a success. Because of your generosity, the gala raised over $330,000 in support of scholarships and program support for HCC students. Your sponsorship, ticket purchase, and presence help us fulfill our mission to meet students where they dream—and support them as they rise. This year, 36 incredible HCC students from programs like Silas Craft Collegians, Howard P.R.I.D.E., Howard RISE, Ambiciones, Student Government Association, and the culinary and pastry programs joined us at the gala. They networked with donors, shared their stories, and reminded us all why we do this work.
Their energy and excitement were contagious—and the delicious macarons they made as parting gifts for guests were the perfect sweet touch to end the night.
Thank you again for helping to make this evening—and the dreams of our students—possible.
