Westerly Auction 2025

Dear Westerly Families and Community Members,

Step into the Roaring ’20s for a Night of Glitz, Glam, and Giving!

Join us at the Westerly Gatsby Gala, an evening of elegance, entertainment, and philanthropy at the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA). This annual tradition brings our community together to celebrate and support Westerly’s mission while ensuring that our students continue to thrive.

A Tradition of Community and Giving

Westerly School’s Annual Auction is more than just a celebration—it is a long-standing tradition that unites us in support of our inclusive, whole-child, and academically strong learning program. Beyond the excitement of the evening, we come together to strengthen the foundation that allows our students to flourish.

We have chosen to send our children to Westerly because we know our educators will help them develop social-emotional skills, resolve conflicts, and make responsible, ethical decisions. We believe creativity and rigor are interwoven and vital to whole-child development. We support Westerly because we are a community of diverse families who value and learn from each other’s lived experiences and perspectives.

Why Your Support Matters

While tuition provides a strong foundation, it does not cover the full cost of the exceptional education that defines Westerly. Like all independent schools, we rely on the Annual Fund and Auction to help bridge the gap, ensuring that our students receive a well-rounded, dynamic education. This year, the difference between tuition and the actual cost of educating each child is nearly $3,000 per student.

Your support directly sustains:

-Innovative learning programs that spark creativity and critical thinking

-Exceptional faculty who inspire and guide students every day

-A diverse and inclusive community where every child is seen, valued, and empowered

How You Can Make a Difference

Every ticket purchased, every bid placed, and every sponsorship secured plays a crucial role in supporting our students, faculty, and the programs that make Westerly extraordinary. This year, we invite you to elevate your impact by becoming a sponsor. Sponsorships not only sustain the programs that shape future leaders but also provide an opportunity for families and businesses to align with a community that values education, excellence, and service.

Join Us for a Night to Remember

We look forward to celebrating with you at this year’s Westerly Gatsby Gala. The evening promises timeless sophistication, lively casino tables, and the joy of coming together in support of something greater—our students and their future.

Thank you for being part of this meaningful tradition. Your generosity ensures that Westerly remains a place where students flourish—today and for generations to come.
