Empowering the Future: CREW Utah's Annual Scholarship Gala shines a spotlight on rising stars

The Asher Adams was filled with elegance, inspiration, and empowerment for CREW Utah's Annual Scholarship Gala. The evening was a testament to the organization's dedication to advancing the achievements of women in commercial real estate and a celebration of the future leaders poised to shape the industry.

Guests were welcomed with a warm and inviting cocktail hour, filled with networking and lively conversation in the stunning historic setting. The air buzzed with excitement as attendees mingled, all in support of the next generation of women in CRE.

Inspiring stories from scholarship recipients:
The heart of the evening was hearing directly from the 2025 scholarship recipients. These inspiring women shared their journeys, their passion for commercial real estate, and their ambitious goals for the future.

The program transitioned seamlessly from these moving testimonials to a thrilling night of casino play, where guests tried their luck at the tables, creating a high-energy and engaging atmosphere. The night culminated in a live auction and opportunity prize drawing, which generated generous contributions that will directly fund future scholarships.
