Not a school fundraiser
A real gala. Real pressure. Real money raised.
Evolve was the capstone of a semester that asked students to operate like a professional event company: sell sponsorships, manage a budget, coordinate hospitality, write speeches, book entertainment, design the guest experience, and deliver under the lights.
