Looking for a fun way to get involved in the gala and meet other Lane parents? Consider hosting a parent party!
Tickets to parent parties will be part of the online auction at this year's Green & Gold Gala and we're looking for hosts. Here's how it works:
Organize a group to host a party. You don't have to do it alone--strength in numbers! Looking to meet new people? Let us know and we'll connect you with other interested parents.
Pick a theme! Ideas include: Pickleball, wine tasting, "class of" parties, costume parties (80's rock and roll, etc.), progressive dinner, etc.
You purchase the supplies, food, etc. and provide the venue (a home or somewhere else).
FOL sells tickets to your party at the gala and all proceeds go directly to Lane!
If you're interested in getting involved, let us know! Email us at [email protected]
