What a night! ❤️
Because of this incredible community — those who joined us at the Gala, bid in the auction, and supported from near and far — we raised over $310,000 to support our schools while having a ton of fun.
As part of the event, we launched the Libraries Without Limits campaign to address a critical gap: due to space constraints, 4 of our 5 district schools don’t have libraries (unlike 92%+ of public schools nationwide).
Together, we’ve already surpassed our goal, raising $32K+ to bring mobile libraries to our schools 📚
And we’re just getting started: HPEF’s Board has committed to matching the first $30K through additional funds raised, bringing our initial investment in this initiative to more than $60,000.
Thank you for showing up, giving back, and making it all possible ✨
