Joy of Discovery Gala

Interior Spread

Top-tier donors and their guests convene at Cipriani every April for SA’s annual gala. It’s a chance to gain support by showcasing unique aspects of the organization. This year’s event centered on SA’s approach to STEM.

Our strategy was to keep it engaging and wonder-filled, while highlighting SA’s world-class curriculum and approach.
