Additional Information
Why a Springtime Gala?
As spring arrives, we are hungry for connection and celebration. A a school, we provide opportunities to experience this with our families at May Faire and in our classes for various events, but not just for the adults. A springtime gala creates this space, allowing for us to deepen our adult connections at a fun early evening party, all while supporting the work of the school.
Is This A Family Event?
No, Giving Is In Our Nature is for adults only.
Is There A Dress Code?
We hope that you will take this opportunity to enjoy a night out in "FoCo fancy dress," whatever that means to you.
Are Tickets Required for Entry?
Yes, each person in attendance is required a ticket for entry. This is a fundraiser, after all! Tickets go on sale Monday, March 24th. We have two types of tickets for purchase: Regular and Pay-It-Forward. See the next question for more information.
What Is A Pay-It-Forward Ticket?
All Pay-It-Forward tickets will be gifted to members of the staff as a small gesture of gratitude. In the event that we have more Pay-It-Forward tickets purchased than we are able to gift to staff, we will make those available to members of our parent community. If you are interested in potentially receiving a PIF Ticket, please complete the form.
Are Food and Drinks Included?
Your ticket price includes tasty treats from the Rio and MSCS family-owned Little Bird Bakery. We hope to obtain a sponsor for the Rio-provided bar, allowing for at least one drink to be included in the ticket price. If you are interested in supporting this event as a sponsor, please email Hillary Mizia.
Will The Silent Auction Be Online?
No. Just like last year, we'll be conducting a good old fashioned pen-and-paper silent auction. That said, you are more than welcome to bid on behalf of your friends and family, as long as you can settle at the end of the event and take their items with you for distribution. We will accept cash, check, and electronic payment.
How Can I Help?
Aside from purchasing a ticket to join us at the party and bidding in the silent auction, we are looking for item donations, event sponsors, and volunteers to help on the day of the event (volunteers will still need to purchase a ticket). Please email the Event Planning Team if you'd like to offer support. A call for volunteers will be coming soon!
