Every Light Becomes a Legacy - Paris Junior College Gala 2026
One spark of generosity can illuminate a lifetime of opportunity. Join us for an unforgettable evening where individual acts of giving come together to create lasting legacies for Paris Junior College students.
✨ Every gift. Every student. Every future.✨
An Evening With Purpose
The Paris Junior College Gala is a celebration of light—of students striving toward their goals, of donors who believe in their potential, and of a community committed to education.
Every Light Becomes a Legacy reflects the idea that when you invest in a student, your impact reaches far beyond one moment. It becomes a story of access, achievement, and transformation that lives on for generations.
Proceeds from the Gala directly support:
- Student scholarships
- Emergency assistance
- Academic and workforce programs
- Student success initiatives
Your support helps:
- Keep students enrolled during unexpected hardships
- Reduce financial stress so students can focus on learning
- Strengthen programs that lead directly to careers
Every student success story begins with someone who chose to give.
