What a night. 💙
Last night, our community came together for the Breakthrough Benefit 2026 to celebrate students, opportunity, and the power of education.

We heard incredible student stories, saw the Breakthrough experience in action, and invited guests into hands-on activities inspired by our classrooms.

The room was filled with joy, connection, and a shared belief in what young people can achieve when they are supported.

Because of this incredible community, we raised meaningful support that will help sustain Breakthrough’s work year-round.

We want to recognize for the incredible work behind-the-scenes that brought the Breakthrough Benefit to life. Your partnership, creativity, and dedication helped create a truly meaningful evening for our community.

To everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, volunteered, and celebrated with us: thank you for believing in our students and the futures they are building.

✨ The impact of this night will continue far beyond the event itself.
