The Alliance for Education is hosting their Pearl Gala, Auction + After Party again this year on Saturday, April 26, 2025 from 5:30 – 10 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt Seattle. For three decades, the Alliance for Education has been a steadfast partner to Seattle Public Schools, supporting their evolution as a beacon of excellence and opportunity.
This milestone event honors what we’ve achieved together and looks toward the luminous potential ahead. Like a pearl, our schools shine brightest when they are cared for, invested in, and celebrated as the foundation of our shared future.
The evening will consist of a hosted reception from 5:30 – 7 p.m., live program and auction from 7 – 9 p.m. and after party from 9 – 10 p.m. All funds raised go toward the organization’s mission of supporting excellence in education by advancing educational justice and racial equity for students in Seattle Public Schools.
“Seattle’s students are filled with talent, resilience, and potential. As we mark 30 years, this event is both a celebration of what we’ve accomplished together and a call to continue investing in public education,” says Roxanne Christian, vice president for advancement at Alliance for Education. “We invite all those who have supported us over the past three decades to join us in this milestone year and be part of shaping the next chapter for Seattle’s students, families and educators.”
Join us for a joyful evening to reflect on 30 years of community partnership and care, celebrate the current excellence across our school district, and raise funds to further our mission of advancing racial equity and educational justice for Seattle Public Schools students.
