  • Who Should Attend?

    The Gala & Auction provides such a special moment of connection and unity for our school. All parents are strongly encouraged to participate and to invite their friends and family! Many friends of FASPS and Parents of Alumni attend the event in person or participate in the Online Auction, which runs for a week before the Gala & Auction. This is an event that brings the entire school community together to celebrate our students and the school, reflecting our shared commitment to preserving, adapting, and growing our harmonized, bilingual program. 

  • How do I volunteer? What volunteer opportunities are available?

    Volunteer positions are available for anyone looking to fulfill their volunteer commitment. Please contact the Development Office at Gala@FASPS.org for information on volunteering to support corporate sponsorship, procurement, decorations, or other Gala volunteer opportunities. 

  • What is the Gala and Auction?

    Each spring FASPS holds a large fundraising event: the Gala & Auction. The funds raised at the Gala are vital to the school and help support our 2025-2026 operating expenses, except for the Fund-A-Needs. Gala & Auction funds help cover the costs that make FASPS an extraordinary learning environment and strengthen our school’s program. 

    Leading up to the Gala each year, and on the event night, volunteer positions are available. This is a great way to fulfill family volunteer hours. Please contact the Development Office at Gala@FASPS.org

  • Sponsorships to the Gala & Auction

    Purchasing sponsorship is a great way to promote your business while helping to offset FASPS gala expenses. This is a great option for business owners who would like to support the FASPS Gala but do not have a product or service that would sell well at an auction. More information will be posted to the gala website in the new year.
