The Sunny Hollow Montessori (FED ID #41-1408529) 2019 Spring GALA, "Reach for the Stars!" will be held at the new Bell Museum and Planetarium (2088 Larpenteur Ave W, St Paul). Hosts of the event will include Joy Summers, editor of Eater Minneapolis TV, and personality Emily Engberg (who will also conduct the Live Auction).

Sunny Hollow families are invested in having their children enjoy a variety of fun and exciting experiences; a day at Valleyfair ranks at the very top of their lists. Valleyfair passes would be highly valued for our Experience/Arts Package, a highlight of our LIVE AUCTION.

Experience/Arts Package donors receive a great deal of exposure through pre-Gala community and digital promotion on multiple flatforms and the night of the event through the Live Auction.

Last year we were very lucky to have Valleyfair passes as part of our Experience/Arts Package.  I believe that increased buzz from the students about Valleyfair impacted the competitiveness leading to a higher winning bid!

Proceeds from Sunny Hollow’s annual fundraising GALAs help Sunny Hollow to enhance environments, programs and broaden our diversity capabilities. Monies raised from the 2019 Spring GALA will support program development and financial aid for families in need.
