Thank you to every guest, donor, sponsor, volunteer, and People's Choice Karaoke Challenge contestant who made the 2026 UnGala a record-breaking success. Together, we raised over $37,000 for the Unstoppable Fund, with more than $7,500 coming from the karaoke challenge.

Your support helps ECTC students overcome challenges, follow their dreams, and build better lives. We truly appreciate every one of you.

What. A. Night! The 2026 UnGala People's Choice Karaoke did NOT disappoint!

Together, our contestants raised more than $7,500 to support ECTC students through online and in-person gifts. (That's why the final results differ from the online leaderboard, which reflects online gifts only.)

Congratulations to Jennifer Swope for leading fundraising and bringing in over $2,100 to support ECTC students! In true Jennifer fashion, she passed the coveted golden microphone trophy to Hollie Sexton Foy, naming Hollie the real winner for her unforgettable performance of Sweet Caroline, which had everyone singing along and brought the house down!

Every contestant was incredible, and every dollar raised helps remove barriers and create opportunities for ECTC students to succeed. Thank you for showing once again the strength of our amazing community!

Photos, final totals, and more UnGala highlights are coming next week, so be sure to follow our social media channels and watch your email for exciting updates!
