A HUGE thank you to everyone who attended the 2025 gala, sponsored, Fund the Need
for K-12 Fine Arts and/or bid on silent auction items. Thanks to you,
we raised nearly $63,000 for education to continue
our support of grants, student scholarships and community opportunities.
The 2025 gala was all about celebrating community in style—whether you
prefer a casual or elegant look. With a Denim and Diamonds theme and
entertainment by DJSkoolz, the night had something for everyone. We are so
glad all of those who were able to join us!
A big thank you to our all of our sponsors, guests, and presenters.
