Get ready to Spark the Future with us in 2025!
We are excited to gather for our 7th year of this unforgettable event to raise money in support of Sonoma County students and celebrate the incredible impact of career-connected learning. Spark the Future is unique in that it showcases career-connected learning in action during our Student Showcase, where guests see firsthand the impact of their support and how it is transforming local students’ educational experience.
This annual event is our most important fundraiser of the year and powers our work to innovate the education-to-career experience and strengthen student success in Sonoma County.
