Description

Since the start of the COVID 19 pandemic, our tuition assistance budget has increased by 10%. Only through an increase in generous donations have we been able to sustain our budget and enrollment. A Night of a Thousand Stars is the major fundraiser of the school year to acquire the funds necessary for tuition assistance as well as enrichment of our academic and athletic programs. The success of the gala determines the financial well-being of the school since the majority of the tuition assistance budget is unfunded. More than 450 people attend each year for the live and silent auctions, dinner and entertainment. All in-kind donations are used as silent auction items; auction contributions are recognized in all event publicity as well as high visibility the night of the event. We appreciate your consideration and support of our school fundraiser.
