2011 Celebration Gala

Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!

Episcopal High School parents and friends came together for an evening of fun and to support Episcopal during this year’s Mardi Gras-themed Celebration. Guests strolled down “Royal Street” to bid on silent auction items and dined on authentic Louisiana cuisine in the Buck Student Center, transformed to resemble New Orleans.  The fundraiser was complete with a jazz band, and colorful masks that served as the bid paddles for the live auction, which included exciting trips to New Orleans, Sonoma, Maine and the Bahamas. Favorite auction items included a Havanese puppy and front row seats at graduation.

Funds raised at Celebration will go towards a covered walkway between the Buck Student Center and Foerster Building. Construction will begin this summer.

We are grateful to all who contributed to the success of Celebration – whether as a committee member, donor or participant…..Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!

Plans are underway for Celebration 2012 on Saturday, February 11, 2012 at the Walton Boathouse hosted by Christy and Bill Blake.
