“You made me see a light of hope in the middle of the storm. When I felt like I couldn’t find a way out, A Woman’s Place showed me a way out. You made me feel braver.”

-Survivor Quote

2025 Weld Legacy Foundation Gala

Imagine a future where every student in Weld County has the opportunity to pursue higher education without the burden of financial barriers. Since 2015, Bright Futures has been making that vision a reality, investing nearly $27 million in the education and success of more than 6,700 students!

Co-chaired by Jennifer Gillmore and Susan Swartz, we invite you to be part of this incredible mission by joining us at the 36th Annual Weld Legacy Foundation Gala, La Notte Italiana, presented by Chevron, Saturday, October 11, 2025, a night dedicated to transforming lives through education. Your generosity helps ensure that students, regardless of academic standing, income level, or background, have access to up to $14,000 in tuition assistance for college or vocational training.

This program is not just about education; it’s about building a stronger Weld County. By supporting Bright Futures, you’re investing in a thriving workforce, a vibrant community, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. As part of Weld Legacy Foundation’s mission to promote excellence in health and education in Weld County, we are proud to announce proceeds from this exclusive Gala will benefit Bright Futures and help provide students with tuition, fees, books, transportation, or technology, and strengthen the vitality of the Weld County community.

Whether in a charming Tuscan village or along the stunning Almalfi Coast, Italy is a mesmerizing blend of history and modern elegance. Savor a gourmet feast, try your luck at the just-for-fun gaming tables, uncover a hidden gem at the whiskey and vino pull, and dance the night away to the smooth sounds of Take Note Entertainment.
