SeneGALA 2026 Raised Over $65,000!

The energy in the room said it all. Senegala 2026 was something special. Students for Senegal's annual gala brought together an extraordinary community of supporters, alumni, and friends, all united by a shared belief in the transformative power of education and service. But this year carried an extra layer of meaning: it was the final gala for Amary Seck, the visionary founder whose decades of dedication built this organization from the ground up. From the first welcome remarks to the final toast of the evening, the night was both a celebration of what's been accomplished and a heartfelt tribute to the man who made it all possible.

This was Amary's night, and the community made sure he knew it. Donors gave at every level — longtime supporters and first-time givers alike — raising a record $65,000 for the organization he built. Those dollars represent so much more than a number: they fund scholarships for students at the Lambaye Learning Center, support service learning trips for the next generation of change-makers, and sustain a mission that Amary has nurtured with extraordinary care and conviction. Every contribution was a tribute to his life's work — and a promise to carry it forward.

To Amary: thank you. For the vision, the sacrifice, and the countless lives you've shaped on both sides of the Atlantic. Senegala 2026 was a record-breaking night, but more than that, it was a love letter from a community that you built and that will never forget you. If you weren't able to join us — or if the evening moved you to do more — the Amary Seck Legacy Fund is still open and accepting donations. Every contribution ensures that his life's work continues to open doors for students in Lambaye for generations to come. The best chapters of this story are still ahead, and we carry Amary's spirit with us as we write them.
