INSPIRE 2026

Elegant Past, Radiant Futures

Join us for INSPIRE in Black & White

On April 25, 2026, the Edmonds College Foundation will proudly host the 41st annual INSPIRE Gala at the Lynnwood Event Center—an evening of celebration, community, and transformational impact. This year’s theme, INSPIRE in Black & White: Elegant Pasts, Radiant Futures, honors the legacy of our college while illuminating the bright paths our students are forging. Guests will enjoy an elegant night of fine dining, auctions, raffles, games, and a meaningful connection to the college through a student showcase, a vintage jazz ensemble, and a delicious Dessert Dash created by Edmonds students.

100% of proceeds support the Student Success Fund. With a goal of raising $300,000, INSPIRE highlights how one timeless night of generosity fuels scholarships, emergency aid, and exceptional learning experiences. Help students overcome barriers, achieve their goals, and strengthen our community for years to come.
