Gala

Join us for the 2026 Gjergj Kastrioti Scholarship Fund Gala!

The 10th annual Gjergj Kastrioti Scholarship Fund Gala will take place on Saturday, January 31st, 2026, at 7:00 PM at The Palazzo Grande in Shelby Township, MI.

Proceeds from this event directly support Albanian-American students in Michigan who are pursuing four-year degrees at our state’s colleges and universities. With over 200,000 Albanian-Americans calling Michigan home, GKSF is proud to help shape the leaders of tomorrow.

Founded in 1999 by a group of Albanian-American university graduates, the GKSF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with a clear mission: to empower Albanian-American youth through higher education scholarships. Over the past 27 years, we have awarded 230 scholarships, totaling more than $645,000, and with your help, we aim to do even more.

Sponsorship opportunities for the Gala are available in our Sponsorship Packet.

Join us for an evening filled with culture, community, and celebration, while making a lasting impact on the future of our youth.

We look forward to celebrating with you!
