Honored that my former teacher, Dr. Reyes, is receiving an alumni award this year! He made such a difference for so many of us. Congrats Antonio! 🎓
Antonio Reyes·
@priya.patel42 Thank you so much! I'm humbled by this recognition. Looking forward to reconnecting with everyone at the event
Jessica Patel·
How much are tickets? I want to go but the price point matters for my budget right now

These alumni galas have gotten so expensive. $150 per person is ridiculous for what used to be a school event. They're pricing out regular alumni
Antonio Delgado·
I mean, they do have to pay for the venue and catering. Plus the proceeds go toward scholarships. Seems reasonable to me

@antonio.chef @tom.wagner.classic yeah I get it but not everyone can afford that. They should offer sliding scale or scholarships for tickets
Amelia Vargas·
I'm going! Haven't seen people from my class in ages. The food is always amazing there
Jessica Patel·
Can someone let me know if there's early bird pricing or any discounts? I'm genuinely interested but $150 is steep
