A new kind of celebration...
This year, we are excited to introduce a renewed vision for the Annual Oakcrest Gala. When we looked ahead to our upcoming 50th anniversary, we saw an opportunity to reimagine this beloved event.
For many years, the Annual Oakcrest Gala has been a cherished occasion for our community to gather, mark important milestones, and support the school’s future through live, silent, and online auctions. However, we have decided to intentionally shift focus. We are re-centering this important fundraising event as a space for deeper connection, joyful celebration, and greater appreciation of our roots.
In addition to entertaining and uplifting opportunities for the community to generously support Oakcrest's mission, we are creating more room for conversation, student and faculty presentations and performances, and meaningful moments that reflect the life of the school and the relationships at its core. More than a list of accomplishments or goals, this evening celebrates the beauty of Oakcrest’s mission, its lasting impact, and the people who live it every day—students, parents, faculty, staff, alumnae, and benefactors alike.
Please join us as we gather to celebrate the true Heart of Oakcrest!
Our goal: $300,000
The Oakcrest Gala is the school’s primary fundraising event of the year. Every gift plays an essential role in sustaining and strengthening the mission we share. This year, we aim to raise $300,000 to directly advance three essential priorities:
- tuition assistance, ensuring access for families who qualify and seek an Oakcrest education;
- faculty development, investing in the educators and mentors who form our students each day; and,
- school resources, providing the tools and enhancing the campus that support excellence in teaching and learning.
