Mark your calendars for the 33rd annual Niagara College Gala on Saturday, April 5 at the Fallsview Casino Resort.
With live music, dancing, special announcements, and a live and silent auction, NC’s biggest fundraising event of the year promises to be a memorable evening in support of our students and the Together campaign.
Once again, talented NC students and alumni will take center stage, including alumna Krissy Vann (Broadcasting – Radio, Television and Film, 2008), who is returning for the second year in a row to host the festivities.
Tickets for the event are $300 each (including a $50 tax receipt), or $3,000 for a table of 10.
For NC employees, the College is pleased to offer a special ticket price of $250 with the option to purchase one additional ticket at the same rate. Please note, discounted tickets are not eligible for a tax receipt.

The annual gala is coordinated by NC Community Relations and Events, in collaboration with Development and Donor Stewardship, Alumni Relations, and with support from other college areas and community partners. Since its inception, the event has raised over $3.5 million to fund equipment, learning resources, scholarships and bursaries for students.
