It was an evening of generosity, connection, and shared purpose! The 2026 Pfrang Gala brought together our inclusive NIS community and friends at The Westin Nanjing Resort & Spa – all in support of educational opportunity for underprivileged secondary students in Anhui and Jiangsu. With approximately 190,000 RMB raised for the Pfrang Association’s charitable work, the evening was a powerful reflection of what is possible when a community unites around a common cause.

Guests enjoyed a fantastic evening of dining, conversation, and celebration, with Denise & Friends providing a standout performance that brought energy and joy to the gala. Many familiar faces from the NIS community were in attendance, reinforcing the deep and longstanding commitment to the mission of the Pfrang Association and the positive impact it continues to make as our school’s main charity.

This year’s gala also marked the public sharing of an important evolution in strategy: a more focused, developmental approach that will enable deeper, more personalised support around specific needs. Grounded in long-term impact, the approach reflects a continued commitment not only to access, but to meaningful opportunity – ensuring the work of the Pfrang Association continues to change lives in thoughtful and sustainable ways.
