Annual Fundraiser: Springtime in Paris Gala

February 2025

Rawson Saunders, a private school for students with dyslexia, held its annual fundraising event, enabling it to provide students with necessary scholarships each year. The theme, Springtime in Paris, was captured with lavish florals, climbing the Eiffel Tower, filling the flower cart, and perfuming the air, including handcrafted, larger than life paper mache flowers for a touch of enchantment. The silent auction felt like a stroll through a garden with lush green draping and a flower laden fountain. Banquet tables were adorned with stunning floral centerpieces, custom place cards and menus, and macarons at every setting. On the main stage, Plush Party Band played in front of an Arc De Triomphe in an afterparty that had everyone out on the dance floor. This vibrant event was alive with the joy and celebration of Rawson Saunders’s parents, teachers, and supporters.

Amount raised: more than $450,000
