Chios Legacy Gala 2026

A Night of Celebration, Philanthropy, and Pride

On Saturday, January 10, 2026, the Panchiaki Korais Society proudly launched its 114th year with the Chios Legacy Gala, welcoming more than 350 guests for an unforgettable evening of celebration and community. The ballroom came alive with dancing to the music of Power Station as we honored our mission of Honoring Heritage, Empowering Minds.

The evening featured the presentation of scholarships to 28 students, including the James Pantelidis Memorial Scholarship and the Aristotle Mirones Sr. Memorial Scholarship, as well as $15,000 grants awarded to Zoodohos Peghe Greek American Institute (Bronx) and Holy Cross Greek Afternoon School (Brooklyn). We also marked the relaunch of the Miss Chios Legacy Ambassador Program.

Captured through more than 3,000 photographs, the images below reflect countless smiles, heartfelt moments, and the enduring spirit of our Chian community.
