Celebrate Innovation in Education at the 2025 Spirit of Excellence Gala

An evening to empower, innovate, and elevate public education—don’t miss this black-tie gala!

Some evenings aren’t just memorable—they’re meaningful. This October, step into an inspiring night where community leaders and changemakers unite to champion a bold future for public education.

The Spirit of Excellence Gala, hosted by IPSF, is one of Orange County’s premier philanthropic gatherings. Held at VEA Newport Beach, this black-tie event supports innovative programs that enrich the lives of students and fuel excellence in Irvine’s public schools. As education evolves, so does the need for bold action—and this gala is where that momentum begins.

Dress up, show up, and register here to be part of a cause that empowers the next generation.
