Looking Back at Previous Gala Fundraiser
Our annual gala is our biggest fundraiser of the year and we have awarded over $450,000 in college scholarships from 2012-2019. Our 64 AEF Scholars represent 29 different countries and attend colleges across the United States including Princeton University, Harvard, NYU, Skidmore University, CUNY, Hunter College, SUNY Farmingdale, Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education at CUNY, Hamilton College, and Ithaca College and more.



With every $2500 raised we are able to help one more student reach their full potential
