The MAAAC Gala is returning this summer to raise funds for Orange Beach City Schools, with organizers describing the event as a major annual tradition that supports students, teachers and programs across the school system.
The MAAAC Gala 2026 is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 15, from 5:30 to 11 p.m. at the Perdido Beach Resort Grand Ballroom. The evening will include a gourmet dinner, a cocktail hour, live music and a silent auction, along with surprise award recognitions throughout the night. Organizers recommend cocktail attire for attendees.
Tables for 12 are available for $1,500, with individual tickets priced at $150. Educators within the Orange Beach City School System can purchase tickets for $50. Ticket sales are open through the Perdido Beach Resort website.
MAAAC is also seeking donations for the event’s silent auction, with an online form available for those interested in contributing an item or service. Organizers said proceeds from the gala will be invested in programs that help Orange Beach City Schools serve its students, and they are encouraging supporters to reserve tickets and consider donating auction items ahead of the event.
