Saber Soiree
Gala/Party for Friends of PulaskiFeb 24, 2024 8:00 PM to Feb 25, 2024 12:00 AM
Specifically, we are seeking in-kind donations to be auctioned at the Friends of Pulaski winter fundraiser, Saber Soirée, A New Party with a New Purpose.
On Saturday, February 24th, 2024, close to 300 parents, teachers, staff and friends of Pulaski International School of Chicago will gather to celebrate our school community and the incredible impact it has on our children. In addition to the celebration, the party revelers will be bidding on our silent auction in the iconic setting at City Hall Events.
The efforts of this event allow Friends of Pulaski to continue to bridge the monetary gap between government funding, and the resources that are needed for a quality education. Since its inception, Friends of Pulaski has supported, not only operational needs and capital projects, but has funded enrichment programs and the expense of ever-changing technology upgrades throughout our school.
This year we are Marching to a Million after hosting this event since 2015! Be a part of this major milestone for Pulaski!
