Crowned With Excellence

Join us for an unforgettable black-tie evening celebrating education, empowerment, and the future of Jacksonville’s youth. Hosted by Passport Educational Collective, this formal gala will raise essential funds for the future launch of Passport Preparatory Academy, a proposed K–8 tuition-free public charter school designed to serve historically underserved communities through literacy equity, culturally responsive teaching, and community partnership.

Guest will enjoy:

• music and entertainment by local talent
• Amazing food and desserts
• Exclusive silent auction prizes
• Inspiring stories from educators, and community leaders
• Networking with civic leaders, philanthropists, and changemakers

This is more than a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of possibility, purpose, and unity. Your presence helps us move one step closer to opening a school where every child is seen, valued, and prepared to lead.

Dress to impress, bring your heart for impact, and prepare for an evening to remember.

We can’t wait to see you there!
