Description

The Friends of Carl Von Linné School (FCVL) helps promote and support cultural, educational and enrichment programs for our Linné community by raising funds for programming and purchases not covered by the school's operating budget.  One way our organization accomplishes this is by holding an annual fundraising gala.  In 2020 and 2021,  the FCVL took a pause from hosting the gala due to the spread of Covid-19. Now that our kids have returned to school, many of the programs that we help support have also resumed.  In order to continue to support the programs we will be hosting a smaller, yet impactful fundraising event in the spring.  

This year, we will be hosting Cocktails for a Cause: a space for parents, teachers, and community members to mingle and reconnect with one another, sip on adult beverages, and listen to live music. This will be accompanied by a silent auction and raffle prizes to help raise the funds needed for the enrichment programs like the culinary program, robotics program, dance program, musical theater, extra art supplies, and the Chess club - all of which would not be possible without our fundraising capabilities.
