Funding for student attendance is a fun way for you or your company to tell the students, ‘thank you!’

All students who attend the gala volunteer their time and skills in special ways. From greeting guests as they arrive, to making the educator awards, to supporting in the behind-the-scenes with IGNITE leadership. One of the most anticipated ways that students participate in the evening is through the “Student Panel,” where a select number of students share IGNITE’s impact on their lives from the stage.

Companies who sponsor a table receive special co-branding opportunities.

Table Captains play a key role in the gala’s success. Captains work to fill a table of 8, drawing their friends, colleagues and family to the event in support of gender equity in STEM.

In addition to having your name listed at the event, your work as a Table Captain will ensure that you’ll be seated at a table filled with your friends for a memorable evening. You may serve as a “co-captain” with a friend or family member.
