The Foundation for Deaf Education

Annual Blue & Gold Gala

You're cordially invited to spend an evening under the stars with us as we celebrate St. Mary's School for the Deaf 170 years of dedicated service to the deaf and hard of hearing community across all 8 counties of Western NY.


The Foundation for Deaf Education improves the quality of life for the students of St. Mary's School for the Deaf by funding programs and activities that are not covered by NY State legislative appropriation.    

We've come a long way in supporting St. Mary's School for the Deaf's mission of providing equitable access to exemplary educational programs that prepare deaf students to be self-directed, lifelong learners, who are productive members of society.  To further educational advancement, promote deaf awareness, and inspire change, we need your help.


100% of proceeds go directly to the students of St. Mary's School for the Deaf, including any programs and activities that occur outside of academic hours or off-campus.  You help us promote Deaf Awareness and collaborate as a community to provide our students and their family with an opportunity they would not receive in a mainstream setting.
