Every year after the Gala, we float on cloud nine for days.
The Gala is a poignant reminder of the strength and generosity of this community. We do what we do because we believe in helping students, educators, and families thrive, and your support makes that work possible. The Foundation continues its important mission because of your generosity, and we are endlessly grateful.
The final count and photos will come soon, but we couldn't let another moment pass without saying an emphatic thank you. Last night was a powerful reminder of the difference we can make when we come together in service of our students.
A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, donors, and student groups. You made the evening especially meaningful! (And thank you to the rain for pausing right when we needed it to.) 🌸💙
