About This Event

Honoring Our Past. Trailblazing Our Future.

For more than 20 years, Tindley Accelerated Schools has empowered scholars through rigorous academics, transformative opportunities, and an unwavering belief that College Is Power.

Trailblazer 2026 is a celebration of the journey that brought us here — honoring the foundation built by our scholars, educators, families, alumni, and community partners while looking ahead to the future we are creating together.

This year’s theme, “Honoring Our Past. Trailblazing Our Future.”, reflects our commitment to recognizing the legacy of Tindley while continuing to create opportunities that prepare the next generation of scholars for success.

Our goal is to raise $400,000 to support scholars across all Tindley schools — from kindergarten through high school — expanding access to innovative learning experiences, college and career readiness, and life-changing opportunities.

Join community leaders, alumni, corporate partners, families, and friends for an inspiring evening of celebration, storytelling, and philanthropy as we honor where we have been and invest in where we are going.

Together, we will continue trailblazing a future of excellence for every Tindley scholar.
