SAVANNAH, Ga (WSAV) — Savannah State University (SSU) announced their 26th Anniversary Scholarship Gala to be held on Saturday, Apr. 5 at 7.p.m at the Savannah Convention Center.
The community event celebrates local leaders while raising funds to provide financial assistance to SSU students. Last year, the Gala was a sold-out event, raising a record-breaking $412,000.
This year's theme is "An Evening of Elegance: an Orange Carpet Affair.” It will feature an Awards of Excellence presentation which honors a select group of individuals for their contributions to Savannah.
“Our generous past donors are paving a brighter future for our current students,” said SSU Interim President Cynthia Robinson Alexander. “We are so grateful for the faithful community members who continue to support our historic institution and the promising young students who need their assistance to achieve their dreams.”
