The EWB UIUC 2026 Charity Gala is an annual event hosted by Engineers Without Borders at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (EWB UIUC). Taking place at the iconic Spurlock Museum, this flagship fundraiser brings together passionate students, faculty, alumni, and community leaders dedicated to driving sustainable development across the globe.

Our mission at EWB UIUC is to empower underserved communities worldwide through engineering-based, community-driven infrastructure solutions. Every dollar raised during this evening directly funds our active international and local technical initiatives including clean water access and resilient community infrastructure.

The gala features engaging keynote presentations highlighting recent project impacts, silent auctions, networking opportunities, and catered entertainment. By attending or supporting this event, partners directly contribute to training the next generation of socially conscious engineers while transforming lives in vulnerable communities.
