On Friday, May 8, 2020, another chapter of La Salle’s Annual Crystal Ball continues at the spectacular Noor, located in downtown Pasadena.  Chaired by Carol Kirland P’22 with Event Coordinator, Ellen Radle P’17, I am certain we will continue to enjoy another successful event this year.  Based on the buzz created by last year’s event, I know that we will not only sell-out again, but that there will be even more incredible opportunities for patrons to leave with great auction items in tow.

This year’s theme, Crystal Ball Celebrates The Kentucky Derby, is sure to pique people’s interest and allows guests to dress up and walk the red carpet!

The Annual Crystal Ball is the School’s primary philanthropic vehicle in support of our ongoing commitment to the provision of excellent academic, artistic and athletic programs for all of our students.  Since its inception in 1999, the Crystal Ball has provided over three million dollars in support for program improvements in academics, the arts, and athletics, as well as tuition assistance for families who are struggling to make ends meet.

We count on the generosity of supporters like you who recognize that the community surrounding La Salle is enriched by the accomplishments of our students as they move onto college and beyond.  Accompanying this letter are a variety of ways in which you can assist the Crystal Ball in its ongoing effort to provide the best possible opportunities for our young people to achieve their full potential now and after their graduation.  I want to thank you, in advance, for considering this important opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the young people entrusted to our care.
