A Night for the Ambitious The Quinnipiac Gala

Thank you for making “A Night for the Ambitious”, Quinnipiac’s Inaugural Gala, such an extraordinary event. With a total of $1.28 million raised, the evening was not just a celebration but a pivotal moment in our journey to realize the vision of our comprehensive campaign. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our sponsors for their generosity and to everyone for their unwavering support in making this night a success.

Thank you to special guest Ynon Kreiz, Mattel's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer!

After a fireside chat with President Judy Olian, Ynon presented her with a custom Barbie, something only a handful of others have had made.

Thank you to our generous sponsors!
