About this Event

Celebrating 30 Years of Community, Connection, and Impact

This year marks a major milestone—the 30th anniversary of Community Partners’ Evening at Confederation College. Known as the Pearl Anniversary, this special evening will honour three decades of meaningful connections, community support, and transformative student success.

What began as a simple gathering has grown into one of our most impactful fundraising traditions. Every year, this event brings together local leaders, businesses, and dedicated supporters to celebrate the spirit of community and help change lives through learning.

An Evening to Remember

Join us for a vibrant, reception-style event featuring:

  • Five gourmet food stations prepared and served by our Culinary students,
  • A take-home dessert created just for this occasion,
  • A silent art auction showcasing amazing talent,
  • The 2nd annual Community Partner of the Year Award presentation;
  • And plenty of opportunities to mingle, connect, and celebrate.

Together, we’ll kick off the 2025–26 academic year with purpose and pride.



Supporting Student Financial Aid & Bursaries

As we honour 30 years of community generosity, this year’s fundraising focus remains clear: providing financial support to students who need it most.

Rising costs continue to create real challenges for many students. Your support through our Fund-A-Need Campaign helps remove these barriers. Every dollar raised goes toward bursaries and emergency aid that empower students to stay in school and stay focused on their goals.

You can make a difference. Please consider supporting the campaign by donating here.
