What the Evening Supports
The Legacy Project of Stark County pairs K through 12 students with caring adult mentors through school-based and community-based programs, all free for students and families. More than 1,400 students are in the program this year, and the Gala is our biggest fundraiser of the year, helping make that possible.
During the program we honor the legacy leaders who have made a positive impact in our community and spotlight the mentors who guide and inspire our local students.
