Join Inspiredu for our annual Inspire Gala, an unforgettable evening honoring the achievements, partnerships, and people who power our mission. This intimate gathering brings together community leaders, business and tech executives, educators, and dedicated supporters to reflect on a year of progress in digital learning and creating a more connected, accessible future.

Celebrate alongside the Inspiredu community—including program participants, partners, and volunteers—as we recognize our Family of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, and Community Honorees, and unveil exciting plans for the future.

It’s more than a celebration—it’s a night of connection, recognition, and inspiration.
