The Konnection Gala 2025: A Night in New York

On March 20th, we transformed Detroit into the city that never sleeps for an unforgettable evening filled with purpose, passion, and community. Our NYC-themed Gala was more than just a celebration—it was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we come together for our youth.

From skyline-inspired décor to heartfelt stories and student spotlights, the night was a reflection of The Konnection’s mission.

Thanks to our incredible sponsors, partners, and guests, this event helped raise essential funds to continue fueling our programs, experiences, and resources for youth across Detroit.
