The Edmonds College Foundation will host its 41st annual INSPIRE fundraiser April 25 at the Lynnwood Event Center.
The event, titled “INSPIRE 2026: Elegant Pasts, Radiant Futures,” will include dinner, a live auction and a student showcase. Program highlights include a jazz ensemble performance, the “Dessert Dash” and remarks from student Ryan Henry.
Proceeds from the gala will support the Student Success Fund, which provides emergency aid, scholarships, program support and learning resources for students at Edmonds College.
“The INSPIRE gala is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a direct investment in our students’ futures,” said Amit B. Singh. “Every contribution fuels our programs and students. We’re deeply thankful for our community’s partnership and excited to celebrate the transformative power of their generosity.”
The foundation aims to raise $300,000 through the event.
Community members can attend the gala or contribute directly to the Student Success Fund.
“INSPIRE 2026 is our opportunity to support the transformative power of higher education collectively,” said Lillian Sherman, Executive Director of the Edmonds College Foundation. ”When you support INSPIRE, you’re not just giving; you’re directly investing in the dreams and potential of our students, building a brighter future for them and our community. Join us to be inspired and help us shape a future we can all be proud of.”
