On February 21, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. – 10:30 p.m., the Foundation for Seminole State College will proudly host the 42nd Dream Gala, presented by Addition Financial, at the Orlando Marriott Lake Mary.
This year’s theme, “A Toast to 60 Years,” celebrates Seminole State’s enduring legacy with a nod to the bold style and visionary spirit of the 1960s—honoring where we’ve been and the bright future ahead.
The Dream Gala, a premier fundraising event, brings the Central Florida community together in support of Seminole State College and our students. Thanks to your generosity, thousands of Seminole State students have achieved their educational dreams through scholarships funded by this event.
Guests will enjoy a formal dinner, lively entertainment, a silent auction, activities with over 200 prizes, and an exciting live auction featuring luxury vacations, unique experiences, and more. All proceeds benefit Seminole State students, academic programs, and the College’s areas of greatest need.
