Thank you for your generosity! See you at next year’s auction!
Our “A Night of Fortunate Surprises” Annual Auction is now in the books, and what an unforgettable evening it was! On Friday, March 13, the Marylhurst community gathered at the Abernethy Center for a magical night of celebration, connection, and generosity in support of The Marylhurst School.
From the moment guests arrived to the final paddle raise, the evening was filled with laughter, excitement, and a shared commitment to the students and programs that make Marylhurst such a special place.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the night a success:
Our Guests: Your presence, enthusiasm, and generosity made the evening truly meaningful.
Our Generous Sponsors: Fuller Brothers, Inc., Abernethy Center, Pacific Office Automation, Parkwood Clinic, and Rustic Elm Bakery. Your support helped offset event costs so that more funds could go directly toward supporting our school.
Our Marylhurst Faculty and Staff: Your creativity, encouragement, and dedication helped bring the evening to life.
Our Donors: Thank you for contributing auction items, wine, and experiences that made the silent and live auctions so exciting.
Our Incredible Volunteers: From early planning to event night logistics, your many hours of work made this event possible.
This celebration truly reflects the strength and spirit of the Marylhurst community. We are deeply grateful to everyone who shared their time, talents, and generosity.
We are still finalizing the numbers from the evening and will share the final fundraising total soon. Thank you again for helping make this year’s auction such a wonderful success.
Support the Special Appeal
While our community gathered for a wonderful evening at A Night of Fortunate Surprises, we know not everyone was able to attend. If you were unable to join us but would still like to support this year’s Special Appeal, we invite you to contribute.
During the auction, our Head of School, Leif Gustavson, shared several important initiatives that will enrich the Marylhurst experience for our students in the coming year, including immersive Music and Spanish programs, professional development for faculty, technology updates, Building 1 renovations, tree maintenance across campus, and meaningful field trips and camping experiences.
If these initiatives resonate with you, we hope you will consider making a gift in support of the Special Appeal. Every contribution helps strengthen the programs and experiences that make Marylhurst such a special place for our students.
