UCP's annual Gala is a black-tie fundraiser, where nearly 1000 prominent business and community leaders enjoy an evening of entertainment, silent auction bidding, a delicious three course gourmet meal, and toasting our award winners - while celebrating UCP’s mission & work.  This year’s event features our returning hosts Cheryl Hines, Rachael Harris, & RJ Mitte. Funds raised at Gala provide things such as additional teacher assistants in each classroom, allowing us to maintain our customized approach to maximize teaching & learning for all students, therapy scholarships for students whose families cannot afford to pay, and parenting education & counseling to transitioning teen mothers in our BETA Program.
