Thank you for a record-breaking All-Star Evening!

Thanks to our incredible team of supporters, the 2024 All-Star Evening hit it out of the park! More than 500 supporters came together to celebrate 30 years of ACES impact and to reinvest in the next three decades of work on behalf of Minnesota students. From the show-stopping band to the touching Locked In Award presentation, from the record-breaking auctions to the student participants who stole the show –check out the photos below to relive the excitement of this celebration.

Please visit the ACES Facebook page to see even more event photos!

Huge thanks to our all-star lineup of sponsors, our incredible volunteers, keynote speaker Michael Houston, auctioneer Miss Shannan Paul, David Billingsley and his band, Step with Soul, special guests Jeff Locke and Dave St. Peter, and the teams at North Star Events, the Fillmore Minneapolis, and D’Amicos Catering, for making this event one for the history books. 

 Keep your eye on the ball for future ACES events – we'll can’t wait to see you there!

If you didn’t get a chance to make a gift at the All-Star Evening, you can still be part of ACES’s work to support Minnesota students with a donation today. Every dollar makes a difference in our classrooms and is a meaningful investment in the future of our communities.
