Thanks to the alignment of solid planning, a dedicated team, and inspired fundraising, the Alamo Colleges Foundation executed a successful gala called MOSAICO to support AlamoPROMISE students. Founded over 75 years ago, The Alamo Colleges had never before hosted a major fundraising gala. In Fall 2020, our Chancellor tasked our Foundation team to execute an event that would proudly showcase our ability to achieve our mission and shelve any stigma against community colleges by "showing our partners and donors that we have arrived." Join this session to find out how our Development Team overcame pandemic delays, leadership changes, organizational challenges and other concerns to create an inaugural event that raised $820,000 for student scholarships and support.
