A TRANSFORMATIONAL VISION
The Corlears 50th Anniversary Campaign

In 2018, Corlears celebrated its 50th anniversary. In honor of this significant milestone, Corlears School embarked on a 5-year, $4 million campaign that goes beyond our physical structure; this campaign is focused on our heart. Over the past five years, Corlears has been building a truly innovative and transformational vision that is growing a new model for what a private school made just for young children can be.

6 Facts About the Corlears Gala

Each year, Corlears hosts a Gala to bring our community together and fundraise for our school. Check out these fun facts about our biggest event of the year!

 1. We're having our Gala in person again this year!

It's happening on Friday, April 28 from 7:00–11:00 p.m. at Current, located at Pier 59 at Chelsea Piers.

 

Great time at Corlears Gala
 

2. Gala is a community celebration.

Parents, faculty, staff, and alumni are invited to join us. We hope to have as many community members at the event as possible to support our incredible school. 

Note: This is an adults-only event. 

 

3. Dollars raised at Gala go toward fortifying and growing Corlears School.

At Corlears, as at most independent schools, tuition and other earned income cover only a portion of the cost of educating each student, with the remainder made up by fundraising. Fundraising dollars underpin important growth opportunities for the school, including professional development for faculty and staff, upkeep on our building, materials for classrooms, and more. You can learn about Annual Fund here.

Because Corlears is a nonprofit organization, your ticket and other donations are tax deductible.
