President’s Gala – America 250

Some anniversaries deserve more than a mention.

On Tuesday, November 17, ACU gathers at the historic Arizona Biltmore for the President’s Gala — an evening honoring 250 years of American independence and funding scholarships for the students who will carry those principles forward. We’d love to have you with us.

Our featured speaker

Mollie Hemingway is editor-in-chief of The Federalist, a Fox News contributor, and a senior journalism fellow at Hillsdale College. She’s the author of Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution, and her reporting on politics, culture, and the courts has earned the Bradley Prize and the Heritage Foundation’s Salvatori Prize for American Citizenship.

Sponsor guests join a private VIP reception and photo opportunity with her before the program.

Where your seat goes

Choosing where to give is choosing the future you want to see. Every dollar raised at the Gala funds student scholarships.

At ACU, students earn more than a degree. They learn to see their field through a Biblical Worldview lens, lead with conviction, and serve their communities with integrity. Your gift puts that education within reach of families who need help affording it, and it sends graduates into business, education, healthcare, ministry, and public life ready to lead well.

The evening

Registration and reception open at 6 p.m. Dinner and the program begin at 7 p.m. in the McArthur Ballroom — a fitting room for a night about America’s story, in a Phoenix landmark that has been hosting the city since 1929.

Expect warm fellowship, a conversation worth having, and a shared commitment to faith, freedom, and principled leadership.

Reserve your place

Individual seats are $250, or $150 for current ACU faculty and staff. Table sponsorships begin at $2,500 and run through the $50,000 presenting level. Each pairs a table for ten with VIP reception access, signed copies of George Barna’s best selling book,Raising Spiritual Champions, seats at the host table, and recognition in the program and event video.

Seats and sponsorships are limited, and registration closes Tuesday, November 10.
