Debuting in 2024, our annual fundraiser gala will bring together C-level executives and industry leaders for an unforgettable night of networking, celebration, and philanthropy. Guests will enjoy a delicious three-course dinner, an open bar, lively entertainment and demos, as well as exciting live and silent auction items.
All proceeds raised benefit the German American Apprenticeship & Education Foundation, directly supporting impactful workforce development programs that close the skills gap in the U.S.
The Foundation’s mission is to support the creation and expansion of high-quality apprenticeship pathways and related education in the United States. In an era where four-year university tuition is skyrocketing, leaving many people uncertain about their future, apprenticeships offer high-paying, fulfilling career opportunities for youth, veterans, and diverse populations. These opportunities address critical workforce needs and foster economic growth.
