ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A BREAKTHROUGH STUDENT?

Thursday, October 15, 2026, 6–9 p.m. Oshman Family JCC | Palo alto, CA

Dream. Achieve. Breakthrough.

Join Breakthrough Silicon Valley for our annual Are You Smarter Than a Breakthrough Student? Fundraiser — a night of trivia, great company, and real impact alongside a community that believes in students’ potential.

Here is what to expect:

Put your knowledge to the test
Form a team (or find one there) and compete in three fast-paced trivia rounds; including a head-to-head showdown with Breakthrough students.

Hear what’s possible
Hear from students and alumni about their paths to college and how they’re leading in their communities.

Back what works
Your support fuels high-impact academic programs and mentorship that help first-generation students get to and through college.

Breakthrough students show up with curiosity, talent, and determination. What they shouldn’t have to navigate alone is a path to college that wasn’t designed with them in mind. That’s where this community makes a difference.

Join the competition and be part of what it takes for students to dream boldly, achieve fully, and truly breakthrough.
