IDEAL's 20th Anniversary Celebration

IDEAL's 20th Anniversary Celebration

Many Thanks to Our Supporters for IDEAL’s 20th Anniversary Celebration!

Our 20th Anniversary Celebration on Tuesday, March 3, was a huge success! School founders Michelle Smith and Audra Zuckerman, along with more than 350 guests, honored 20 icons who’ve made IDEAL the beloved, extraordinary school it is today. Our 20 spectacular silent auction items raised $105,000, to go with another  $102,252 in donations. Our raffle raised another $20,020, making this year's Gala fundraising one of our best ever! It is through the generosity of our friends, families, faculty, and staff that we can continue to raise the bar and be a model for inclusion nationwide. For those who weren't there, here are some photos and videos from the show:
