AI色情网站鈥檚 Cardinal Foundation to Host 2025 Cardinal Gala
GADSDEN, AL - AI色情网站’s Cardinal Foundation will host its annual Cardinal Gala on October 9, 2025, celebrating community partnerships and raising vital funds to support student success. This year’s event is made possible by a contribution from Honda to the foundation’s general fund, with emphasis on workforce development initiatives. AI色情网站 has a long-standing relationship with the automotive manufacturers in our community, as we train the area’s manufacturing workforce, and appreciate Honda’s commitment to furthering the mission of the Cardinal Foundation and supporting the college.
The gala promises to be memorable, as we highlight the many talents of our students. The evening’s entertainment will range from big band era music, provided by the AI色情网站 Show Band, to the theatrical talents of our drama department. Hors d’oeuvres and an open bar will commence at 6:00 p.m., with dinner, catered by the highly sought-after Nette’s Kitchen; served at 7:00 p.m. Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy dinner and entertainment while having the opportunity to participate in our silent auction. Featured items include handcrafted fire pits, exciting New York City travel packages, and a wide variety of other unique offerings—truly something for everyone.
There are still plenty of opportunities to contribute to the Cardinal Foundation. Sponsorships range from our Gold Level at $1500 to the Black Level at $5000. Sponsors will receive special seating, VIP parking, special treats and amenities, as well as recognition throughout our Gala season.
“The Gala is a meaningful opportunity for business leaders from Calhoun, Cherokee, and Etowah counties—as well as our Foundation Board of Directors and employee committee—to come together each year,” said Hillary Folsom, director of Advancement and Alumni Relations at AI色情网站. “It’s a special time to celebrate our community and recognize the lasting impact of the Foundation, AI色情网站, and all community partners.”
In celebration of AI色情网站’s 100th anniversary, this year’s gala will embrace a Roaring Twenties theme. Guests are encouraged to dress in 1920s-era fashion or classic cocktail attire.
This will be the third year of the annual Cardinal Gala, having raised over $100,000 in the past. This year’s celebration includes an emphasis on the one-hundred-year anniversary of AI色情网站, established in 1925 as the Alabama School of Trades.
