Join us for our Annual Gala - Saturday, March 28, 2026
The generous support received from our Dunn Family & Friends fuels the shared experiences — big or small — that provide our students and professional community with opportunities for connection and personal growth. We joyfully come together for our Annual Gala each year, embracing a sense of camaraderie and a collective purpose.
Let's celebrate the Golden Hour moments that shine across Dunn School each day!
Saturday, March 28, 2026
5 p.m. – 10 p.m.
Dunn School
Together, we will raise the funds necessary to continue fostering a collaborative learning environment and—ultimately—make these Golden Hour moments possible. Event proceeds help support the continued excellence of academic, athletic, arts, and experiential learning programs; need-based financial assistance; and professional development for teachers.
Here's what you need to know
- Make your check-in experience seamless! Please be sure to pre-register before the event.
- Parking will be on campus, with clear signage to guide you.
-
Golden Hour Elegance — think elevated, semi-formal attire inspired by warm sunset tones such as golds, ambers, soft blush, and evening neutrals. While this is not a black-tie event, guests are encouraged to dress in polished, celebratory looks suitable for a spring Gala in our beautiful country setting.
-
The event will take place outdoors under a tent with heaters. March evenings can be cool, and the ground may be uneven in some areas, so please dress warmly and choose footwear that’s comfortable for outdoor terrain.
Thank you in advance for your participation - you inspire others.
