The University of California Trust and the UC Alumni UK Network warmly request your presence at the 8th Annual UC Alumni UK Gala on Saturday May 10, 2025 at the historic Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn.

Our evening begins with a sparkling reception, leading to a three-course dinner and speeches. 

During the soiree, guests are invited to enter the raffle and bid in the silent auction, both featuring highly coveted items and one-of-a-kind experiences. Finally, you will have a chance to enjoy our fundraising casino, all in support of student scholarships!

Further details on the silent auction and our speakers will be announced in due course.

Theme & Dress Code: Casino Royale, A Black Tie Affair
