Benefiting the Leaders and Scholars of Tomorrow
The Harley School will hold its annual scholarship fundraiser, The Gala for BLAST, at the Radisson Hotel Rochester Riverside on March 24, 2012. This black tie optional event will begin at 6:00 pm with cocktail and hors d'oeuvres and a wonderful silent auction. The auction will close at 8pm to give our guests time to check out the grazing stations before the live auction which begins at 9:00pm with auctioneer, Sky Sands. Beginning at 8:00 and following the auction, dance to the music of Nik Lite.
Last year 265 people attended this event which netted more than $63,000 for student scholarships. Funds raised from sponsorships, advertising, and live and silent auction donations and the 50/50 raffle provide scholarships for both Harley and Horizons at Harley students.
Harley awards more than $2 million in financial aid each year. In addition to the 36% of Harley students who receive financial aid, the School also sponsors Horizons at Harley, a summer enrichment program for 130 Rochester City School students in grades K-8. We count on the generosity of the Harley community to help support our students and the need is even greater this year.
Here’s how you can support BLAST:
Above all—come to the event on March 24. All members of the Harley community and the Rochester community are invited and encouraged to attend. Whether you come to bid on a favored auction item or just to socialize, we want you there to enjoy the festive environment.
Become a sponsor, advertise in our BLAST program, or donate an item to auction at the BLAST event. By doing so, you help defray the cost of the event and thus provide more scholarship funding for Harley and Horizons students to become successful leaders and scholars of tomorrow. The sponsorship and advertising opportunities are what determine the success of this event and your donation is tax deductible.
We hope you will consider supporting this fun and important evening!
