The event will be held Friday, April 26, 2024, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM at the Allendale Country Club in Dartmouth.
The Global Gala raises money for the Global Scholarship Fund which provides college scholarships for graduating seniors and for eligible students to attend summer academic travel programs.
The Global Gala is one of the ways the school celebrates partnerships with both local and international institutions. At this year’s Global Gala, attendees will recognize and thank the Community Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts for its commitment to supporting arts and culture on the South Coast.
Guests will enjoy a variety of hors d’oeuvres and desserts and will be able to purchase beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages. Live music will be provided by GLCPS’ award winning student jazz combo with band director Don Richard. GLCPS alumna Sofie Lopes and guitarist Joey Saba will perform.
Several area businesses are sponsoring the event, including Bristol County Savings Bank, Tremblay Bus Company and HR Knowledge. Additional sponsors include Dartmouth Collision, Sodexo, First Citizens Federal Credit Union, Sylvia Group, The Law Collaborative LLC, NFI Corporation, Construction Monitoring Services and Poyant Signs.
“Our Global Gala is a wonderful celebration of our community and an important fundraising effort that creates extraordinary educational opportunities for our students,” said Dr. Stephen Furtado, Executive Director of GLCPS. “We are pleased to recognize the important contributions that the Community Foundation of Southeastern Mass provides in our community. We thank our community partners and sponsors for their consistent support of our mission to create lifelong learners.”
