The Fall 2025 Mississippi College Celebration Gala will mark a major milestone—MC’s bicentennial year—and serve as our flagship fundraising event by combining the Scholarship Banquet and Athletics Dinner into one powerful evening. The event funds support scholarship and athletics programs.
The support of people who are willing to be good stewards of what God has given them means a lot to people like me who are allowed to go to school because of that support.
