Presidential Gala
Friday, April 17, 2026 @ Ware Center for the Arts
The Presidential Gala marks the beginning of a five-year journey to Millersville’s 175th anniversary and sets the stage for unprecedented collaboration among alumni, businesses, and community leaders.
Beginning in 2026, Millersville University’s annual One Day Give expands into a three-part celebration of giving:
- Extraordinary Give (Nov. 21, 2025) – Spotlights the Ware Center for the Arts
- Marauders Day of Giving (Feb. 26, 2026) – Dedicated to Athletics
- One Day Give (April 16-17, 2026) – Focuses on Academics & Affinity Groups
Together, these three events culminate in the Presidential Gala – an evening to honor leadership, philanthropy, and the transformative power of education.
