Step into an evening of art, impact, and inspiration at the Second Annual First-Generation Giving Gala on November 6th from 6:00–9:00pm at The James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art, hosted by the University of Florida First-Generation Alumni Association (FGAA).
This year’s theme, “Masterpieces in the Making,” honors the journeys of first-generation students and alumni as works of art — bold, powerful, and ever-evolving. Surrounded by the stunning galleries of the James Museum, you’ll experience an unforgettable night where community and creativity come together to shape a brighter future.
Enjoy thoughtfully curated food and drinks that reflect Florida’s warmth and cultural richness, while mingling with fellow alumni, mentors, and supporters dedicated to empowering the next generation of trailblazers.
The evening will feature inspiring stories, opportunities to support FGAA initiatives, and immersive experiences that highlight the artistry within every first-gen journey. Together, we’ll add new strokes to a collective masterpiece of impact and possibility.
