Dear Da Vinci Families,
The Annual Benefit Auction Committee is pleased and excited to share a few highlights from this memorable evening with the Da Vinci Community.
The event raised an estimated $ 90,000.00 for Da Vinci Academy.
If you will like to give to the Fund-A-Projects to help us reach our goal you may contact Larry Steffens. Please keep in mind that many companies will match cash donations (via Fund-A-Project) you give to Da Vinci Academy.
The success of the Annual Benefit Auction can be attributed to the wonderful items that were donated by friends of Da Vinci Academy and area businesses. Another key factor to our success comes from the financial support so generously given by our Sponsors, Advertisers and Individual Donors.
This event is made possible by the support and commitment of the entire Da Vinci Academy community. From securing donations, to selling raffle tickets, to purchasing and selling advertising space, to helping students conceptualize and create remarkable works of art in class projects, and volunteering before, during, and after the event, it takes a remarkable community to carry off an event of this size and scale. Thank you to everyone who donated their time and talents to the Auction. The faculty, staff, and students of Da Vinci Academy directly benefit from the Annual Benefit Auction, and are deeply grateful for the tremendous volunteer effort that goes into creating this event each year.
With Gracious Gratitude,
The Da Vinci Academy Annual Benefit Auction Committee
