theme coming soon

Join us in Support of Laguna Beach Students

Saturday, March 22, 2024
5:00 p.m.
Montage Laguna Beach
Cocktail Reception | Silent & Live Auction | Dinner | After Party

Connect with fellow parents and SchoolPower supporters as we come together to raise funds to enrich the educational experience and support the well-being of LBUSD students. This year’s theme will be announced in the fall.

The event’s online silent auction will include a range of tempting products and unique experiences generously donated by local businesses and families. Anyone – attending the event or not – can participate in the auction. Attendees will be encouraged to raise their paddles to fund the yearly Fund-a-Need initiative, which supports SchoolPower’s key programs including SchoolPower Grants, the After School Program, and services provided at the Family Resource Center.

Gala tickets are purchased through our annual campaign. Your support at $1800 includes two tickets to the gala. Increase your impact with a gift of $3,600 for four tickets or $10,000 to secure a table of 10. If you have already made a donation and would like to increase it to include tickets, simply donate the difference to annual campaign. We will total your contributions for the school year. Please email info@lbschoolpower.org with any questions.
