Our Yours Humanly 2022 Gift of Schooling Gala® was an amazing night of fun and fundraising! Thank you to those who attended and made the night so special with your presence and participation! For those who could not attend, you were missed, but we do recognize your contributions and support.

A special thanks and shout out to all our generous sponsors for supporting our mission, to Juliette Goodrich, KPIX 5, who did a fabulous job as our emcee, and to guest speaker Cherise Khaund, MDUSD School Board, for sharing her kind thoughts about our partnership with the District on behalf of students in need. Thank you, all, for being a part of something very special!

We are pleased to announce that two Yours Humanly scholars in Cambodia have recently passed through our K-12 Scholarship Program and graduated high school, earning their diplomas and joining fellow students in their caps and gowns.

Both grads plan to attend college: One plans to study marketing; the other plans to study international communication. Yours Humanly will continue to support these scholars in some capacity as they continue their educational journey and earn their bachelor’s degree.

Under our sponsorship, the girls were enrolled in the highly regarded Beltei International School in Phnom Penh. They have now graduated from one of the finest schools in Cambodia, with a level of education that opens many doors for them, allowing them to dream big. And, because Yours Humanly also funded their ESL education, both girls speak English, something they are able to do only because of Yours Humanly’s sponsorship.

With your generous support, Yours Humanly transforms lives through the power of education. When we say that together we help children in need achieve better, brighter futures, this is what we mean. Congratulations to our two Yours Humanly graduates!

We are pleased to announce that MDUSD Board Trustee Cherise Khaund will be a guest speaker at our 2022 Gift of Schooling Gala, to be held on Saturday, March 19, 2022, at the elegant Diablo Country Club, Diablo, CA. A spirited speaker and passionate advocate for inclusive educational opportunities for all children, Cherise began her four-year term on the MDUSD School Board in December 2018. She is the founder of MDUSD Education Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to funding quality education for students of the Mt. Diablo Unified School District, and served as its first president from 2017-18. She believes that the best decisions are made when teachers, parents, and community members come together to find the best solutions for all students.  

We look forward to Cherise’s comments and insights at our 2022 Gift of Schooling Gala, and are grateful for her support! Purchase your gala tickets today at GiftofSchoolingGala.com.
