Seeds of Impact
Gala Recap
On August 8, 2026, Titus 2 Foundation welcomed educators, community leaders, scholars, partners, and supporters to the 6th Annual Educator Impact Awards Gala at the Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel. This year's theme, Seeds of Impact, celebrated the individuals who plant seeds of knowledge, encouragement, opportunity, and hope that continue to grow in the lives of students, families, and communities.
Celebrating Our Difference Makers
This year, we were honored to recognize 10 outstanding Educator Impact Award honorees representing education, higher education, support services, nonprofit organizations, and community leadership. Their stories reminded us that making an impact extends far beyond the classroom. Each honoree represents what is possible when someone chooses to believe in, advocate for, and invest in others.
We congratulate our 2026 honorees and thank them for continuing to plant Seeds of Impact throughout our community.
Investing in the Next Generation
At the heart of the Educator Impact Awards Gala is our commitment to students. During this year's celebration, we were proud to recognize our 2026 Titus 2 Foundation Scholars, Zamylah Alexander and Mariah Richardson.
Their accomplishments represent why this work matters. Funds raised through the gala and the generosity of our supporters help Titus 2 Foundation provide scholarships, resources, and opportunities that prepare students for their next steps after high school.
Your contribution helps us continue investing in students and expanding opportunities for the families we serve.
Thank You!
The 2026 Educator Impact Awards Gala would not have been possible without the businesses, organizations, and individuals who invested in our mission.

We are equally grateful to the talented professionals who helped bring our Seeds of Impact vision to life.
