“The Winter Gala is one of our favorite traditions because it brings together our friends, partners, and community members in support of student success,” said Michael Christensen, Executive Director of the Kaskaskia College Foundation. “It’s an opportunity to celebrate the power of education while enjoying an unforgettable night right here on campus.”
