First Generation Alumni Giving Gala

Celebrating the Legacy and Impact of First Generation Gators!

Presented by the University of Florida Alumni Association's First Generation Alumni Association!

Join the University of Florida First-Generation Alumni Association (FGAA) on November 14, 2026, for the First Generation Giving Gala, an inspiring evening dedicated to celebrating the achievements, resilience, and impact of first-generation college students and alumni. This special event will bring together alumni, students, friends, and supporters who share a commitment to empowering the next generation of first-generation Gators and recognizing the transformative power of higher education.

Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy a meaningful program highlighting the stories and successes of first-generation students and alumni whose journeys exemplify determination, leadership, and excellence. The gala will also provide opportunities to connect with fellow supporters, honor the accomplishments of our first-generation community, and strengthen the network of mentorship and encouragement that helps students thrive both during their time at the University of Florida and beyond.

More than a celebration, the First Gen Gala is an investment in the future. Proceeds from the event will support scholarships, mentorship opportunities, and student success initiatives that help first-generation students overcome barriers and achieve their academic and professional goals. Together, we can create lasting opportunities, expand access to education, and ensure that future generations of first-generation Gators have the resources and support they need to succeed.

The event will take place at F Club within the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium beginning at 6:00p.m.

Admission includes dinner, drinks, and a great atmosphere in the heart of Gator Nation!

Truly an evening to remember!
