Elevate! Pathways of Inclusion: A Silent Auction Gala

For more information, visit: www.elevatebuiltenvironment.com

We are committed to nurturing the next generation of BIPOC design leaders by investing in their growth and potential. Through dedicated scholarship funds, we aim to reduce barriers to access and create meaningful opportunities for emerging designers within our community. By supporting their education and development, we’re not only empowering individual talent but also enriching the broader design landscape with diverse perspectives and voices

The silent auction gala will highlight our built environment and local talent. The evening’s programming will include a distinguished keynote speaker, an amazing local Drag Queen, and our emcee for the night, to keep the energy flowing and the party going! There will be a lovely, heavy Hors d'oeuvre buffet, a cash bar, an exciting silent auction, special performances, and of course, a DJ-guided dance party to wrap up the evening.

This event will have members from all built environment organizations. We currently have members from NEWH, NOMA, and AIA, and more are assisting us in the planning of this event.

*We will be using drink tickets for this event, which will be available for purchase only at the venue. IIDA RMC will donate a percentage of the drink ticket sales to benefit the Elevate Scholarship Fund.

**Chips for casino games will be available for purchase at the venue. Proceeds will benefit the Elevate Scholarship Fund and are tax-deductible.
