Thank You 2024 Gala Sponsors
This year's Gala was made possible through the dedication and support of our following partners:
The 2025 Coppin State University Gala, theme is “Celebrating 125 Years of Transformation.” This gala holds a pivotal mission—to empower Eagle Nation to embrace the ethos of ‘BE MORE’—a campaign designed to enact transformative change within our university and the surrounding areas.
This campaign, slated to raise $25 million over five years (2021-2025), embodies Eagle Nation’s commitment to shaping Coppin State University’s enduring legacy. The funds will be directed towards crucial initiatives: bolstering student recruitment and support, augmenting scholarship opportunities, and broadening our academic offerings.
We'd like to extend a special thank you to this cohort of stakeholders who are committed to reviving this illustrious university tradition by lighting the way forward for the Coppin community, in Baltimore and beyond.
