The Drop

This spring, we are excited to launch The Drop, our reimagined annual fundraising event for The Learning Community, taking place Thursday, April 16, 2026, at Working Man Distillers in Pawtucket.

Designed as an after-hours gathering, The Drop will bring together more than 250 community, business, and civic leaders for an evening of connection, student voice, and shared purpose.

Rather than a traditional gala, the night unfolds through four short moments—called Drops—that bring the room together throughout the evening. Between these moments, guests mingle, enjoy food and drinks, and explore interactive Market experiences that keep the room energized and engaged.

Funds raised during The Drop will provide critical unrestricted support for the wraparound services that sustain our students’ academic, social, and emotional success.

One night. Four Drops. A community coming together to support what matters most.
