Eton Academy Gala & Auction
Eton Academy in Birmingham is a full-curriculum independent school for students who learn differently, serving over 220 students in grades 1 through 12. The Academy hosted its annual fundraiser “2020 Vision: Our Future Is Clear” to over 300 school supporters. The event included a silent and live auction, formal seated dinner and raffle. The evening netted nearly half a million dollars. Monies raised will be utilized for scholarships, assistive technology needs for classrooms, and essential specialized training for teachers.
