Auction 2014: Forever Fun
The annual auction benefit set a new high for the most attendees—more than 560—as members of the community came together for a celebratory evening at Chelsea Piers on March 6. Parents, alumni and their parents, faculty and staff gathered to view and bid on art, travel packages, theater experiences, fashion items, Lower School Projects, Fretsy and much more. The Auction will establish a new endowment for financial aid as well as raise funds for the School. "We are so delighted by the success of the evening! It was an incredible night due to the hard-work of the Forever Friends Auction committee, parents and Friends community who supported us in this endeavor," said Auction Co-Chair PJ Malladi.
The dedicated Auction Committee, co-chaired by PJ Malladi and Marsha Owett and supported by Friends Events Manager Kate Radlauer, worked tirelessly on ensuring that attendees enjoyed themselves while fulfilling an important fundraising goal.
Items won at the auction may be picked up at School and must be claimed by Friday, March 14. Photos from the event may be seen here.
