What is the I Believe Gala?
The I Believe Gala, in addition to being the Foundation for Erie's Public Schools' only fundraising event, allows us to showcase various projects and initiatives that were funded by our mini-grant program in previous years as well as recognize standout supporters of Erie's Public Schools via our Star and Community Partner awards. This exciting event also features heavy hors d'oeuvres, an impressive basket raffle, and live entertainment by The Breeze Band.
This year, we're excited to be shaking up the Gala a bit by moving it to the Ambassador's Garden Atrium and Terrace to allow for enjoyment of the warm summer weather and a less formal, more fun event! We hope you'll join us to "dance among the Stars" as we celebrate the contributions made by our honorees to Erie's Public Schools.
When is the event?
Stay tuned for the 2023 event date!

What does the money raised through this event support?
The funds raised through the admission tickets and basket raffle tickets at the I Believe Gala go directly to the mini-grant program managed by The Foundation for Erie's Public Schools. This program supports a variety of faculty-created projects that provide unique, meaningful learning experiences for Erie's Public Schools students in the areas of Academics, Advocacy, Arts, Assistance, and Athletics. The money raised at the I Believe Gala directly translates to the number of projects The Foundation is able to fund each year.
The grants provided to faculty members range between $500-$1,500 and the projects often support more than one class or grade level. If you'd like to view examples of previously funded projects on our website, you may do so on the Past Grant Projects page.
