The Pink and Precious Awards Gala is dedicated to raising funds
for two Inspiration Classrooms
About Inspiration Classrooms
A Movement Where Sustainability
Meets Education
Inspiration Classrooms is more than a project—it’s a global solution to two of humanity’s most urgent needs: education and sustainability. Across the world, millions of children are being taught in unsafe, unstable, or non-existent learning environments. Many walk miles just to sit under a tree or gather in broken buildings that offer little protection or dignity. At the same time, communities are drowning in plastic waste, with limited infrastructure to manage the environmental impact.
100% of the funds raised during the Pink and Precious Gala will directly support the creation of Inspiration Classrooms around the world—safe, empowering spaces where children can learn, dream, and ignite their potential through education.
