The event brought together distinguished athletes, veterans, innovators, healthcare leaders, media personalities, investors, and cultural voices for an evening centered around legacy, resilience, innovation, and human connection.

Together, attendees explored how individuals and communities can rise beyond traditional definitions of success — moving beyond wealth, family name, or social status — to help shape a “new social class” defined by heritage, legacy, skills, wisdom, and a genuine desire to contribute positively to the world.

Andrea Bartzen, Founder and CEO of Global Passion Projects, set the tone for the evening with a powerful message:

“Social class in this new world is no longer defined strictly by capital, status, or prestige, but by what we as humans do in our lifetime to change the world for the better.”
