Every Paddle Raised Builds a Future

Celebrate Impact. Create Opportunity.

Every paddle raised carries the power to change a story. It might help a student pay for books, cover transportation, or stay enrolled when life gets hard. Together, these small acts of generosity open doors that might otherwise stay closed.

Moments like this remind us that generosity is not measured in dollars, but in opportunity created. Your belief in access and achievement shapes the next generation of leaders.

The Gateway Community College Foundation proudly presents the 28th Annual Hall of Fame, a celebration of possibility, perseverance, and community. This gathering unites New Haven’s leaders, partners, and friends in one shared purpose: to keep education within reach for every CT State Community College Gateway student.

Raise your paddle knowing you are helping someone move forward.
