Description

Light Up the Night 2018 is the 8th annual fundraising gala for Community of Peace Academy. Community of Peace Academy (CPA) is an award-winning tuition-free public charter school serving approximately 800 students in preschool through 12th grade on the east side of St. Paul, MN. Although 85% of students attending CPA receive free or reduced-price lunch (the national indicator of poverty), CPA's graduation rate is higher than other schools in the area and higher than the state average. By putting relationships first and intentionally focusing on character education alongside of rigorous academics, CPA is helping to close the acheivement gap.

Light Up the Night is a 21+ event for donors and staff. The event features a raffle, trivia, and a silent auction.
