Our scholars work hard every day to excel in the classroom, build valuable life skills, and pursue their college dreams. One night each year, we celebrate their success.

Please mark your calendars and join us as we recognize our scholars’ achievements and raise money for the impactful programming, counseling, and scholarships that help our students reach their full potential.

This year, we’re excited to return to our traditional date and format (cocktails and a seated meal) while also launching a new tradition—rotating our annual event among partner schools and bringing our community closer to the places where our students learn, grow, and thrive. Our 2026 dinner will be held on Thursday, May 28th, at Christian Brothers College High School—home to 20 Access scholars—and promises to be an inspiring evening of powerful student stories and a shared commitment to expanding educational opportunities across the St. Louis region. We hope you’ll be part of this special night!
