Fayetteville State University - DC Alumni Chapter "Day-la"

The 2026 FSU Annual Alumni Dayla

A Celebration with Purpose

The Fayetteville State University Annual Alumni Gala returns in 2026 with a bold evolution: “Dayla”—a high-energy daytime celebration that blends the elegance of a gala with the joy, movement, and cultural vibrancy of a day party.

The “Dayla” is more than a party. It is a fundraising experience designed to engage, inspire, and mobilize the Bronco community in support of student scholarships, academic excellence, and the future of Fayetteville State University.

The “Dayla” is a reimagined alumni gala experience that centers celebration, connection, and giving—without long speeches or formal rigidity.

Guests can expect:

• A vibrant blue-and-white experience celebrating Bronco pride

• Live DJs and curated entertainment

• Elegant food and cocktails

• Interactive fundraising activations throughout the venue

• A short, high-energy paddle raise supporting FSU students

The result is an atmosphere that feels joyful, inclusive and dynamic—while remaining laser-focused on impact.
