Introducing Our 2026 Gala Chair! 💜

We are thrilled to announce Jophrane Ligonde as the Chair of our 12th Annual Founder’s Gala. As one of Global Tassels’ founding members—and a former Vice President of Communications and Board Member—Jophrane has been instrumental in shaping our vision, our voice, and our global mission since the very beginning. Her deep commitment to community, education, and youth leadership makes her the perfect person to guide our signature event in 2026.

Next year’s gala marks an exciting homecoming for GT. We are bringing our celebration back to our roots, NYC, honoring the community where much of our story first came to life. The 2026 theme, “Raising The Bar,” reflects our continued dedication to expanding our impact, elevating our programs, and strengthening our global network of scholars and partners.

Please save the date:
📅 August 1, 2026
📍 The Radio Hotel, New York City

We cannot wait to reunite with our donor base, partners, supporters, and friends for an evening of celebration, connection, and purpose. Additional details—including sponsorship information, ticketing, and program highlights—will begin rolling out January 2026.

Stay tuned, and get ready for an unforgettable night as we raise our bar together.

It is the holiday season 🎄 and we are celebrating! 🎉

Like every year, we’re hosting a Friends & Family Holiday Celebration. This year we’ll have one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast. Same date — December 6 — and the same time: 4–6 pm (Eastern Time on the East Coast and Pacific Time on the West).

We’d love to bring together old friends, family, and new members of our community to engage with our mission. Get to know our work. It’s a time to be together — and this year we’re raising funds to support our community partners in Jamaica affected by the recent Hurricane Melissa devastation. 

Any donation will help. Please RSVP — all the details are below in the flyer.

Happy holidays! Wishing everyone a wonderful season of giving and season’s greetings.

Last night, November 13, GT Founder and Board Chair Dr. Elvin T. Ramos, 4th President and Board Member Dr. Richard Zalman, and Board Member Coco-Nicole Banks participated in the Asian Pacific Leadership Institute’s leadership class for emerging regional leaders preparing for future board service.

GT Alumni recently spent time with our Founder to share their experiences and offer valuable feedback. These conversations are vital to our continued growth — they help us understand the real impact of our work, strengthen our community, and ensure that Global Tassels continues to evolve in ways that truly serve our student leaders and graduates.

The Global Tassels Gala isn’t just a celebration—it’s a powerful movement that changes lives. 🎓

Every ticket, sponsorship, every donation, every shared moment at this event helps our students stay in school by covering tuition, essential school supplies, and technology. Beyond the classroom, your support fuels community impact projects led by our local partners, focusing on youth development and empowerment in their home countries. 🌍💡

In just two days, we’ll come together to honor our mission, celebrate our community, and push the needle forward for education and opportunity. Advance thank you to everyone who has supported thus far.
