Fund-a-Scholar Gala
Fund-a-Scholar Gala 2026
On March 14, 2026, the St. Andrew's community gathered together in the Student Center for our La Dolce Vita Fund-a-Scholar Gala. Seeing more than 370 parents, alumni, faculty, and staff come together to support our Fund-a-Scholar Program was truly inspiring!
We are incredibly grateful to share that, thanks to your generosity, our community contributed a net total of $430,000 toward student financial aid, making this year’s Gala the most successful on-campus Gala in the school’s history!
As a result of this extraordinary philanthropy, more students will have access to a St. Andrew's education who otherwise might not have the opportunity. The classroom experience of all students will be enriched by the diversity of perspectives and backgrounds in each class.
The School would like to give a special thank you to this year's Gala co-chairs, Kristin Cecchi and Marielle Shortell for their outstanding leadership and dedication in making this year's Gala a success. We would also like to thank the entire Fund-a-Scholar Committee of parent, faculty, and staff volunteers for their incredible work. And, of course, a huge thank you to the St. Andrew’s community. Whether you sponsored the gala, donated an item, raised your paddle or bid in the Silent Auction, or were a part of the event, you answered the call with inspiring generosity.
