Bellesini Academy is celebrating its 20th Anniversary of providing outstanding, tuition-free middle school education to boys and girls of all faiths from limited means living in Lawrence. Our philosophy is simple: education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty for children of color. As a tuition-free school, Bellesini relies on donations to raise the $10,000 it costs annually to educate each of our 120 students. As part of this fundraising effort we will be hosting our 20th Anniversary Spring Gala & Auction on Friday, April 29, 2022, at the Andover Country Club. The event will feature dinner, silent and live auctions, and a speaking program featuring our students and alumni. All auction donors and sponsors will be featured in our event marketing before, during, and after the event, as well as on our website, in our social media posts, and our e-newsletters.
