The Celebration of Achievement
The Celebration of Achievement is an annual event hosted by the Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation. The four main objectives of the event are to celebrate success, honor achievement, inspire action and invest in the community.
The Celebration of Achievement recognizes our sponsors and corporate partners and provides scholarships for academically deserving students. It also provides a vehicle to give back to organizations in the host community and across the country.
July 3, 2025, was an amazing and historic evening as we transformed the Sheraton Downtown Phoenix into a elegant venue celebrating scholarship and service! With the theme of “Celebrating and Supporting Our Youth and Honoring Our Military” nearly 700 guests made the inaugural Celebration of Achievement Gala a night to remember! Stay tuned for images of this historic evening of excellence!
