The Celestial Ball is the only annual event to raise much-needed funds to benefit all aspects of the College—from support for students and faculty through program enhancements to infrastructure improvements. Although the College of Staten Island is a publicly funded institution, those state funds continue to be greatly reduced as a result of the current difficult economic times. Therefore, private funding becomes a critical component to not only compensate for that increasing deficit, but also to ensure that the College is able to continue to provide exceptional academic opportunities that have garnered increasing national and regional attention.
