Thank you for making the 10th Anniversary
Haiti Scholarship Benefit a night to remember!
On behalf of the event team, and with special thanks to our generous sponsors for the incredible support and encouragement, thank you to everyone who made this year’s benefit a great success! We raised enough to put over 100 students at the Children’s Academy and our Partner Schools through school this year, including our inaugural Class of 2028, now in 11th Grade. This means so much. Thank you.
From the the signature Caribbean cocktails and delicious food (Hugh Groman Group), to the amazing sound and lighting (Amplified Lifestyles) and compelling rhythms (DJ Newlife), to the Haitian dancers and drumming, to Merline’s wonderful Carribean food items, we’re absolutely thrilled at how it turned out.
Deep thanks as well to our dedicated Board members, the many volunteers who helped out in myriad ways, as well as BAR Architects & Interiors for hosting. We couldn’t be more grateful.
Thank you for helping Haitians change Haiti through education. We look forward to seeing you next year!
Thank you for joining us in 2025!
Meet students and parents from the school community!
