West Ada Foundation Friends of the Foundation Gala
Each year, the Education Foundation awards grants to teachers who develop creative and innovative programs to help their students succeed in the classroom. And each year, the Foundation hosts an event to honor the previous year’s grant recipients. This event is the Friends of the Foundation Gala.
We invite you to attend this year’s event which will be hosted at the Riverside Hotel Boise. This event will honor past year grantees, will include a presentation from a grant recipient about the impact that their grant has made and will include refreshments, a no host bar and music,and drama provided by students from the District.
Please consider attending and supporting this wonderful annual event which recognizes our amazing teachers and all that they do for our students! We encourage your attendance as well as your sponsorship consideration of this year’s event. It promises to be a fantastic evening!

College of Idaho Gala
2019 Scholarship Gala is Approaching
The annual Scholarship Gala is one of the College’s biggest nights of giving. The funds raised at this event assist more than 90 percent of our students, Alumni, friends and supporters of the College come together, as they bid in live and silent auctions, participate in prize raffles and meet with the very students their gifts go to on to support. Thanks to the generous partnership of last year’s Gala sponsors, donors and attendees, the College raised over $350,000 to directly benefit The College of Idaho’s Scholarship Fund – shattering the previous record by 28 percent. The 2019 Scholarship Gala will take place on March 1 at Boise Centre on the Grove. Our 2019 goal is to raise more than $380,000 for our General Scholarship Fund, allowing us to help more students than ever before.
