Nardin Academy proudly celebrates a major milestone as the Fortune Gala—our signature fundraising event—marks its 35th anniversary.
For thirty-five years, Fortune has brought the Nardin community together to celebrate what makes our Academy unique: a rich history and tradition, exceptional academic and extracurricular programs, dedicated faculty, and a student experience unlike any other.
The 35th Annual Fortune Gala will take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at The Powerhouse in Buffalo. Tickets are now on sale.
More than an elegant evening, Fortune is an investment in Nardin’s mission—inspiring hearts and minds through faith formation, character development, academic excellence, and service. Proceeds from the gala directly support student life and expand opportunities for personal, spiritual, and academic growth.
The celebration begins early with two exciting gift-gathering opportunities:
Gift Gathering Party on Friday, February 6 at Orchard Park Country Club
“Give a Little, Get a Latte” drive-through gift gathering during morning drop-off at both West Ferry and Cleveland campuses on Thursday, February 12
Fortune is more than a celebration—it helps ensure every Nardin student continues to learn, grow, and thrive.
We look forward to celebrating this special anniversary with you.
Go Gators!
