Inspired by the vibrant tradition of convivios—gatherings rooted in connection, celebration, and shared purpose—this event raises critical scholarship funds that help Be A Leader students persist in college and move closer to their goals.

Convivio for Tomorrow’s Leaders is the Be A Leader Foundation’s signature fundraising event—an evening that brings together donors, partners, alumni, and students to celebrate postsecondary opportunity and the power of community.

Scholarship support through Convivio directly offsets the real and growing costs students face:

$750 provides one Be A Leader student scholarship, helping cover essential expenses such as books, fees, transportation, and living costs
$1,500 supports two Be A Leader student scholarships, doubling the impact and expanding access to critical financial support

Each year, Be A Leader awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to exceptional student scholars—many of whom are the first in their families to attend college. As tuition, housing, and basic living expenses continue to rise, students are signaling increased financial need, making scholarship support more essential than ever to ensuring they can stay enrolled and succeed.

Our second annual event builds on the momentum of last year's inaugural event with an elevated program featuring student storytelling, live performance, a silent auction, and opportunities to engage directly with the next generation of Arizona’s leaders. Every ticket purchased is an investment in our students' futures—and a tangible step toward making college possible.
