About the Stone of Hope Gala
The Stone of Hope Gala, now in its 8th year, was conceived to celebrate giving to the University and recognize outstanding alumni.
The Stone of Hope Gala is a premier fundraising event focusing on celebrating the 50th Year Reunion Class. This year we will celebrate the Class of 1973, faculty, and staff who promote the mission and values of SAU at a high level, and outstanding alumni who have excelled in their professional careers and made contributions to the community in which they live and work.
This Gala is scheduled annually during the week of commencement to encourage participation from alumni celebrating their 50th Year Reunion. Classes who graduated in the years ending in 3 and 8 will celebrate their reunion during Homecoming Weekend 2023. Alumni chapters traditionally use this weekend to make their annual monetary donations.
