Dear Friend of the Bronx Science Community,

We are reaching out because the planning of The Bronx High School of Science Parents’ Association 2023 Annual Gala is now underway. This year, our Bronx Science 2023 Reach for the Stars Gala will be held on Thursday, May 11, 2023, at Congregation Rodeph Sholom located at 7 W 83rd St, New York, NY 10024. We will hold a live auction at the Annual Gala, preceded by a separate, online auction. We ask our students to aim high and reach for the stars! We also ask for your generous support of our school’s largest and most important fundraiser.

The Bronx High School of Science ranks among the top high schools in the country. Our alumni include eight Nobel Prize winners (more than any other secondary education institution in the world), eight Pulitzer Prizes for journalism, and more than 200 Regeneron Science Talent Search Scholars. Your support is essential to keeping our school at the pinnacle of secondary education. Your generosity helps offset devastating budget cuts to NYC public schools and enables us to provide a comprehensive, high-quality education for our students – 50% of whom are economically disadvantaged.

We aim to raise more than $150,000 at our Reach for the Stars Annual Gala, to be used to fund technology in the classrooms, lab materials, Student Center furnishings, standardized testing fees for students in need, student research, expenses for extracurricular activities, uniforms for team sports, and other vital support services for our students. Any form of contribution, merchandise, or service appropriate for auctioning from you would be greatly appreciated. Please donate today! Your donations will be highlighted on our auction website, which is viewed by our 3,000+ Bronx Science families, faculty, and staff, as well as by auction participants nationwide. It’s a great way to advertise your business. In addition, we encourage our families to patronize supporting companies and establishments.

Donating is quick and easy! CLICK HERE to donate online or print out the attached 2023 Donation Form and email it back to us. Please send your donations by April 1st, if possible. All contributions are tax-deductible as allowable by law. If you have any questions, contact us at auctiondonations@bxsciencepa.org.

We look forward to your remaining a part of the community of organizations, local merchants, and individuals who support our school’s fundraising effort. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Kind regards,

Bronx Science Auction Committee
