Upcoming Events
First Generation Giving Gala
First in our families. Not the last, if we can help it.
Join us November 14, 2026, for an evening honoring first-generation Gators: the students and alumni who earned their place at UF, and the people who make sure the next ones can too. Alumni, students, friends, and supporters will be in the room, all committed to opening doors for the next generation of first-gen Gators.
The program highlights the stories of first-generation students and alumni whose determination, leadership, and excellence speak for themselves. You'll also connect with fellow supporters and help strengthen the mentorship network that carries students through their time at UF and beyond.
This is a celebration, and it's also an investment. Proceeds support scholarships, mentorship, and student success initiatives that help first-generation students get past barriers and reach their academic and professional goals. We know what those barriers look like. Your support helps clear them.
When: November 14, 2026, 6:00 p.m.
Where: F Club, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
Admission includes: dinner, drinks, and a great night in the heart of Gator Nation
Attire: Gator cocktail
