Annual Gala + Auction

Our annual auction is not only a fundraising and entertaining event, but a WHOLE LOT OF FUN!

School families and community members participate in a variety of ways: by donating, acquiring items to auction, planning, bidding in the silent auction, and by being present the night of the live event. The annual Gala supports innovative programming and curriculum for our independent school, which receives no government funds and relies solely on tuition and fundraisers.

Tuition covers ~80% of our operating budget, so MDS relies on a combination of grants and unrestricted funds/donations to make up the difference.

45th Annual Gala Auction - Monte Carlo Casino Night

🎲🎉 🎰💰

WE BET DOUBLE OR NOTHING, YOU REGRET NOT PURCHASING YOUR TICKETS FOR THIS UNFORGETTABLE EVENING!

Bets were placed at our Casino Night and Live Auction, while the stakes were high as guests played hands of poker, hit the blackjack table, took the roulette wheel for a spin, and rolled the dice in games of craps.

Then, they traded their chips for raffle tickets for their chance to win big!

The MDS live auction featured an array of captivating items that made everyone feel like they hit the jackpot! A full orthodontic package from Small & Piers, a hand forged garden arch/trellis from The Metaled Company, (5) 7 night/6 day trips to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic donated by Peak Furniture + Design, Name the Gymnasium for a Year, Be the Auctioneer, and Free Afterschool for a Year rounded out our live items sold.
