Annual Gala & Auction
Country Day's Annual Gala and Auction is a Country Day institution in its 49th year, and builds a strong community connection for our families and supporters, as well as providing a significant source of revenue. Through the funds raised at this event, we are able to provide two full high school scholarships per grade per year, as well as tuition assistance to nearly 40% of our students - ensuring access to our unparalleled curriculum and special programs.
