Itiah Angels for Learning Provides Help for Haiti

Dr. Andrea Morgan delivers show-stopping keynote at Itiah Angels for Learning’s third annual fundraising gala.

Marie Thadal welcomes gala attendees.

Itiah Angels for Learning hosted its third annual fundraising Gala earlier this month. Guests donned Mardi Gras masks in keeping with the gala’s “Night at the Carnaval” theme. Supporters gathered at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Ballroom in Princeton, NJ.

The highlight of the evening came when Dr. Andre’a Morgan of Colgate-Palmolive took the stage to deliver a keynote address that captivated attendees.

“STEM never looked so beautiful,” said Itiah Angels for Learning Founder Marie Thadal, reflecting on the moment.

Morgan drew the audience into her personal and professional journey to excellence, inspiring both reflection and action. For the first time in the evening, the room fell completely silent, with every attendee focused intently on her words. The keynote was the defining moment of a night already filled with vibrant energy, purpose and a strong sense of community spirit. Even the keynote speaker was inspired by the event.

“Marie… last night’s event was truly fantastic! I really enjoyed myself. Thank you so much again for allowing me the opportunity to speak. I will certainly be back to support next year,” Morgan later remarked.

The annual gala supports the mission of Itiah Angels for Learning, which provides educational tools to students in Haiti. Itiah’s support fosters academic achievement and drives long-term community transformation.
