Join us for the Haiti Scholarship Benefit!
Despite the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Haiti, thanks to you, our Bay Area supporters, we have a lot to celebrate. Our annual benefit is in its 9th year of raising scholarship funds for students to attend the Haiti Partners Children’s Academy. Our model school focuses on student-centered, locally relevant education, collaborative leadership, and community development. Our students are receiving a creative, changemaker education and are on their way to becoming the thinkers and leaders that Haiti deserves.
We love getting together with you each year to toast what we have accomplished while enjoying signature cocktails, delicious bites, Caribbean music, and updates about how our efforts are making a concrete difference in the lives of students, families, and communities in Haiti.
Our goal this year is to raise $100,000 for student scholarships, including the inaugural class of 2028 who are just starting 10th grade. Scroll down to view our sponsorship opportunities.
Thank you for joining us last year!
Meet students and parents from the school community!
