An evening of celebration, honoring the people who shape the legacy of Irving ISD.
About the Legacy Gala
The Legacy Gala is the Irving Schools Foundation’s signature fundraising event, celebrating the rich history of Irving ISD and the community leaders who have helped build it.
Each year, guests gather for an elegant evening of entertainment, fine dining and giving. Since the first Gala in 2011, the event has raised millions of dollars for programs that support educational equity and academic excellence across the district.
Every theme is new, but the purpose stays the same: investing in Irving ISD students, teachers and staff.

The Legacy Gala
For more than a decade, the Legacy Gala has brought Irving together to celebrate its schools and the people behind them. Each year’s evening has its own theme, but every ticket, sponsorship and auction bid goes to the same place: Irving ISD students and educators.
