An Evening of Inspiration and Purpose
At a time when cultural values are being challenged, the Courage Under Fire Gala seeks to equip individuals to stand firm in their beliefs and lead with integrity. The event will highlight the importance of faith-driven leadership and the role of education in shaping future generations.
Proceeds from the event go towards supporting Regina Caeli Academy, a classical homeschool hybrid that prioritizes traditional values and supporting families in educating their children.
Regina Caeli Academy serves families seeking Christ-centered learning by providing a classical hybrid education in the Catholic tradition. RCA's mission is to train the mind to form the soul. Courage Under Fire comes alongside this mission and takes it further by modeling this training in taking a faithful stand and setting the example for students through the gala and other events that help change the culture. The gala supports the efforts of RCA that prioritize traditional values and family-centered learning.
Reserve your seat. Bring your community. Ignite the culture. This evening is designed to encourage, inspire, and mobilize individuals and families to lead with conviction and transform the world around them.
