About this event
For ten years, Mission Bit has opened doors that may have otherwise felt out of reach. Access to technology. Access to mentorship. Access to confidence. Access to community. Access to careers. Access to possibility.
Every student deserves the opportunity not just to use technology, but to understand it, shape it, and build with it. Together, we’ve spent the last decade making that happen.
Now we’re inviting you to help make the next decade possible.
Join us on October 8, 2026 at 6:00 PM for Mission Bit’s 10th Annual Gala Fundraiser— an evening of celebration, community, and impact. Hear directly from students, experience the projects they’re building, connect with a community that believes technology can be a force for good when everybody has the opportunity to shape it. Together, we’ll celebrate what’s possible while helping fuel Mission Bit’s next chapter.
Whether you’re purchasing a ticket, making a donation, or becoming a sponsor, you’re investing in opportunities that extend far beyond a single evening; you’re helping ensure the future of technology is more inclusive, more representative, and more accessible for the next generation.
