We are thrilled to share that the 17th Annual Purple and Gold Gala – The Light Shines On will be held at Rivers Casino in Schenectady, NY, on Friday, March 27, 2026. Each year, this signature event brings our community together to celebrate Christian Brothers Academy’s (CBA) mission, brotherhood, and illuminate the future for our young men.

Last year’s Gala welcomed over 400 guests and raised more than $250,000 from alumni, current and past parents, faculty, staff, and friends of CBA. The generosity and spirit of this community made Bright Night for Brothers truly unforgettable and we can’t wait to do it again! This year, The Light Shines On symbolizes the enduring impact of your support on every CBA student, family, community, and beyond. A Brother leaves CBA devoted to faith, learning, and service.

Your generosity plays a vital role in their journey. Every sponsorship helps ensure that our students have access to exceptional academic programs, athletics, music and performing arts, community service opportunities, leadership development, and critical tuition assistance. Your investment not only shapes their experience today but it lights the path for the future.
