2018 Gala a Success

We are happy to announce a successful 2018 DA Gala! The annual fundraiser benefits the Denver Academy Tuition Assistance Program, which supports approximately 30% of all students who attend DA each year. This year’s masquerade-themed event was held on Saturday, April 21 at the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver. The evening kicked off at 6 p.m. with cocktails and a silent auction featuring items ranging from autographed professional sports memorabilia to spa treatments, artwork, jewelry, and the coveted Headmaster for a Day auction item. New this year was the chance to send a DA teacher packing with tickets to the Elton John concert in Denver and a stay at the Brown Palace.
Dinner and a touching program followed with a real-life story of how the school has changed her son’s life from DA mom, Tammy Bishop. CBS 4 Anchor/DA Alumni Parent Jim Benemann served as the emcee for the evening which continued with a live auction showcasing a Poker Party with the Headmaster, tickets to the Justin Timberlake concert in Denver, an adult welding class taught by DA Metal Arts Teacher Kris Fritzsche and more. The 310 gala attendees then enjoyed a live DJ and danced the night away! Through the live auction and paddle raiser, over $200,000 was raised.
