DONATIONS
FUND - A - NEED
The funds raised from the Gala of Stars each year help to support student aid, creating opportunities for students to experience a transformative Christian education who otherwise might not have been able to join our Concordia family.
It is our expectation that this need will continue to increase in the coming years. We are asking you to prayerfully consider being a part of this year's Gala of Stars.
No act of generosity is too small to make a difference.
