DETAILS

Join Salem Academy Charter School on Friday, May 1, 2026, at the historic Hawthorne Hotel in Salem for the 2026 REACH for College Gala, our signature Annual Fund event supporting students in grades 6–12. Each spring, supporters, alumni, families, and community partners come together around a shared belief: every student deserves access to opportunity and the support needed to thrive. The REACH for College Gala is a celebration of that commitment and the impact of a Salem Academy education. Guests will enjoy an engaging evening featuring student performances, reflections on alumni outcomes, and stories that highlight how access to academics, enrichment, athletics, and College & Career Readiness shapes confidence, belonging, and long-term success. The evening also includes an exciting silent auction with exclusive experiences and unique offerings. Funds raised through the Gala support the programs and experiences that remove financial barriers to participation, including no-user-fee athletics and extracurriculars, school-funded AP, PSAT, and SAT exam fees, college and career exploration beginning in middle school, and highly individualized postsecondary counseling for every student. By purchasing a ticket or sponsoring the Gala, you are investing in the systems and experiences that open doors, expand access, and ensure Salem Academy students can fully engage in their education—today and beyond graduation. This is a 21+ event.
