About the Gala
Tuesday, May 6, 2008
The active support and mentorship of local business leaders is key to NFTE's success in reaching and inspiring area youth. The mission of the Dare 2 Dream Gala is three-fold:
- To raise funds for the coming year
- To showcase NFTE students' business ideas
- To provide a meaningful networking opportunity for students and local business leaders
Last year’s Gala raised $900,000 and saw over 900 prominent business and education leaders in attendance, nearly doubling the success of the previous year. This year, you can help us smash that record.
