The Sanger Education Foundation’s Annual Gala, held on February 21, 2025, at the stunning Palazio Event Venue, was an incredible evening of generosity, celebration, and community spirit. With 280 attendees, the event was a tremendous success, raising nearly $100,000 to support programs and initiatives that enhance learning opportunities for Sanger ISD students.

"Every dollar raised will go toward empowering educators and enriching the educational experience for students in our district. This event truly showcases the heart of our community and our shared commitment to education."
