Allen Community College will host the 2026 Red Devil Gala on Friday, May 1, at 415 W. Madison Ave. in Iola, as a fundraiser benefiting Allen Community College Advancement. The annual event plays a critical role in generating scholarship dollars and expanding opportunities for ACC students, while celebrating the strong community partnerships that support the college’s mission.
“The Red Devil Gala is more than a night of entertainment — it’s an investment in our students and their futures,” said Director of Advancement Vince DeGrado. “The proceeds from this event help to remove financial barriers and create opportunities for students to pursue their education.”
Doors open at 5 p.m. with a meet-and-greet, followed by dinner at 6 p.m. The evening continues with a dessert dash at 6:45 p.m., a live auction at 7 p.m., and dueling pianos beginning at 8 p.m. Silent auction winners will be announced at 9:30 p.m.
The program includes live performances by the ACC Choir and Rock It Man, along with a variety of live and silent auction items, including getaway vacation packages to Chicago and Nashville, Kansas Children’s Discovery Center passes, Wichita Thunder ice passes, and much more.
Online bidding opens April 29.
The event is open to the public. Tickets are $25 in advance online or $30 at the door. Tickets and auction items are accessible at www.allencc.edu/community/alumni. Business casual attire is requested. Table sponsorships are available by calling 620-901-6218.
