DC Charter School Alliance 30 Year Gala

A Celebration of Legacy & Leadership

 Friday, November 20, 2026 · The Showroom (1099 14th St NW, Washington, DC 20005)

About the Gala

Thirty years ago, innovative school founders—backed by forward-thinking supporters like the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation—believed deeply in DC's young people and built an entire sector from the ground up.

That spirit still drives us forward.

Join us for the DC Charter Alliance 30 Years Gala as we honor the bold visionaries who turned an idea into lasting impact—and look ahead to all that's still to come.
