Proceeds from the gala will help send students from Innovations High School on transformative volunteer trip to Ghana this summer.

In 2024, the CIRCLE Foundation and Innovations High School embarked on their inaugural journey to Ghana, engaging in a culturally enriching educational experience.

Volunteers dedicated their efforts to the Church of Christ Basic School in Cape Coast, an institution grappling with critical challenges, including a lack of electricity and deteriorating facilities. The team worked diligently to repaint the school, restored electricity that had been vandalized, and provided essential donations to support its students.

Following meaningful discussions with school administrators, the CIRCLE Foundation proudly adopted the school as part of their ongoing commitment to uplift and empower underserved communities.
