Dear Friends:

On behalf of La Salle College Preparatory, I am thrilled to announce that our 25th Annual Crystal Ball will be held on Friday, May 3, 2024, at the Langham Huntington, Pasadena. Last year, we were blessed beyond measure with over 350 guests and participants joining us for our event. With Heather Young P'14, '17, '21, '26 continuing her leadership in chairing this year’s event, I am confident this will be another beautiful and successful evening. We sincerely look forward to your presence!

This year's theme, "Derby," promises to capture attention and inspire excitement, providing our guests with an opportunity to dress up and celebrate. Anticipate an enchanting evening featuring fantastic Live and Silent Auction Items and a delightful dinner.

Our annual Crystal Ball is not only an evening gala and celebration of La Salle but also serves as our school’s primary philanthropic initiative. Since its inception in 1999, the Crystal Ball has been a driving force in our ongoing commitment to enhancing our students' academic, artistic, and athletic programs. This special event has contributed over four million dollars to school-wide student experiences and opportunities, inclusive of academics, the arts, athletics, and financial aid. Above all else, the Crystal Ball has had a direct impact on the continued and ongoing support of our San Miguel Scholarship Program, which provides full tuition assistance to La Salle families most in need of financial support.

We rely on the generosity of supporters like you who recognize the accomplishments of our students and how they enrich the broader community as they become servant leaders in the spirit of St. John Baptist de La Salle. This event will ensure the best possible opportunities for our students to achieve their full potential now and in the future.

Thank you in advance for considering this vital opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of the young people entrusted to our care.

Sincerely, 

Perry K. Martin, M.Ed.

School President
