Tech & Tuxedos Gala

The Countdown is On!

Join us on Saturday, May 23 and step into an unforgettable evening at our Tech & Tuxedos Gala - where innovation meets elegance under the stars. 

 

Join us for a night of sophistication, connection and celebration outside at the front of the Senior School building at Albert College.

Here's a sneak peek of what awaits you:

Themed Cocktails
Experience a world of innovation and indulgence as you sip on expertly crafted cocktails inspired by technology and futuristic flair. From sleek, modern mixes to bold, imaginative creations. Non-alcoholic options also available. 

Gourmet Experience
Our curated menu by the talented chefs at Kaleidoscope Catering is designed to impress—blending creativity, elegance and unforgettable taste.

Live Entertainment
Power up your night on the dance floor with Montreal entertainer and DJ, George Thomas. We're also thrilled to feature a special DJ performance during the cocktail reception by Albert College parent, Erik Laar—setting the tone for an unforgettable night.

Dress code
Formal attire is preferred but tuxedos are not mandatory. Think suits, cocktail dresses or evening wear. Feel free to add a modern or tech-inspired twist if you’d like! Dress to impress and keep in mind that this is an outdoor event. No jeans please.

We can't wait to see you at the Tech & Tuxedos Gala. Proceeds from the gala will support the technology program and our new makerspace classroom, expanding opportunities for all students in robotics, engineering, design and innovation.

Proceeds from the Tech & Tuxedos Gala will support our technology program and our new makerspace classroom.

Recently, Albert College received a $100,000 donation in support of the new makerspace classroom, followed closely by an additional $25,000 gift. When combined with the $80,000 already raised, our $350,000 goal is nearing. With this incredible progress in mind, we are aiming to raise $100,000 at the gala and having the makerspace renovation begin right away.

Our goal of $100,000 will make this dream a reality and will fund this important project at Albert College for our students. This exciting project is just the beginning of many more to come over the next few years as part of the strategic plan and our goal to innovate the space.

Help us reach our goal by attending the gala, or making a donation to support this project. You can also speak with Melanie Barrett, Director of Development, to learn more about this project or about other areas in need of support at Albert College.
