Hope Rising Spring Gala: May 14, 2025
On Wednesday, May 14th from 6:30 - 10:00 p.m., Esperanza Academy will host Hope Rising: Illuminating Futures, our annual spring gala, at The State Room in Boston. Join us and light the path of dreams for our brilliant students!
With over 300 guests, we will hear joyful stories of our incredible students, alumni, and faculty. We’ll also provide updates on the inspiring progress of our Ready to Rise Campaign to build a new school and expand to the lower grades.
Your support will help us advance our mission and break the cycle of generational poverty. We are tuition-free, but not cost-free. 100% of the funds raised will sustain and grow The Esperanza Fund, allowing for a transformative education model built on justice and centered in joy.
Event Venue
The State Room is perched atop an iconic skyscraper in the heart of Boston. With stunning views of the harbor as our backdrop for the evening, we will celebrate 19 years of Esperanza’s incredible impact creating lasting change through education.
Overlooking the main floor in the mezzanine, cocktail hour will be buzzing with live music and endless opportunities to bump into friends or make new connections. Guests can peruse beautiful student artwork from our silent auction, while trying to outbid the competition.
During the formal program, guests will enjoy a delicious meal, tableside wine service, and fantastic company, while being inspired by our student speakers and performers.
