We are just over a month away from the 2019 D’Evelyn Dinner Auction. I am excited to invite you and your family to attend this wonderful event, occurring Friday, November 8th at 6 PM at the Baldoria on the Water Event Center in Lakewood, Colorado. Families can buy tickets, purchase sponsorships, and pledge donations on our Handbid event website: https://events.handbid.com/auctions/a-night-of-notes Last year, the Dinner Auction sold out several weeks prior to the event, so we encourage families to purchase tickets early this year. The D’Evelyn Education Foundation (DEF) was established in 2004 as a non-profit organization designed to provide the financial support necessary to maintain the academic, athletic, performing arts, and scholarship programs at D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School. The financial support of DEF is essential to the continued success of our great school, and serves an important function of supporting D’Evelyn students, teachers, and staff both inside and outside the classroom. For the 2019-2020 school year, DEF has pledged over $180,000 of support to D’Evelyn students, teachers, and staff members. Among the various programs DEF supports, this year, the fundraising efforts will support:
DEF fundraises through a variety of methods and events each year, including the D’Evelyn Dash, the Auction, the Annual Giving Campaign, and the Annual Golf Tournament. As a result of the amazing work of the D’Evelyn Dash Crew, as well as the engagement of so many D’Evelyn community members, the 2019 D’Evelyn Dash was the most successful fundraising Dash on record. We hope to continue that level of engagement and support in our Auction, because it is annually the largest fundraiser for DEF. In order to provide this ample support to D’Evelyn students and teachers, we ask D’Evelyn families to consider opportunities that they can support this event, by attending the Auction, or by volunteering to support, sponsor, or donate one or more items to the Auction. If you have further questions or ideas on how you can get involved, please contact Jenna Spendlove, our Auction coordinator, at [email protected]. D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School is a special school. The commitment of our students, faculty, and staff are integral to the success of our rigorous liberal arts program outlined in the D’Evelyn Founding Document. The support of D’Evelyn parents, families, and alumni allows for our academic and extracurricular community to be special. I am touched by the steady and consistent support we receive in so many different ways from D’Evelyn families. It is my sincere hope that you will be able to join in this important community fundraising event on November 8th. Comments are closed.
