Our Mission
This year is the 31st year of the Legacy Awards Gala, sponsored by the William Paterson University Foundation.

Funds raised through the gala directly affect the lives of our students, most of whom rely on scholarships to complete their studies. With your generous support of the Gala, you can truly make a difference in the lives of our students through scholarships and programming as we strive to achieve the University's mission of academic excellence and student success.
