2019 Annual Gala & Silent Auction

This year, our Annual Gala & Auction was held on Valentine's Day weekend during which we transformed the Hotel Madison into an Enchanted Garden with our Masquerade Ball and Silent Auction. ​The community came out in full
force and thanks to your support we raised an unprecedented $90,190, surpassing our fundraising goal for a second
year in a row! We thank our sponsors, donors, gala guests and volunteers for the continued support that will enable
us to fund future Innovative Educator Grants, as well as our other initiatives and programs.
​Be sure to check back in the fall for information on the 2020 Gala!
