We are looking forward to our biggest event of the year: “An Evening at Wayland,” the 34th Annual Spring Gala and Auction. One of the best parties of the year, the Gala is also an indispensable source of key revenue for the Academy. Proceeds from past auctions have helped renovate buildings and purchase items directly benefiting our students. This year, proceeds will be used to support our Fine Arts Program and the Student Activities Fund.
Please help us acquire some items for our Spring Gala and Auction.
