Northwest Academy's Annual Gala

web banner, modified

This year’s Annual Gala, STUDIO 25: A Silver Celebration, brought more than 200 guests – parents, grandparents, alumni, advocates, faculty, staff, and friends – together to celebrate 25 years of Northwest Academy and raise funds for need-based student scholarships! Together, with a matching grant from the Quest Foundation, and additional matches from Titmouse, Inc. and an anonymous donor, our community raised more than $340,000 in support of Northwest Academy programs and student scholarships.

The success of this event is dependent on all of the people and businesses who support Northwest Academy. We would like to thank our guests, sponsors, donors, students, and volunteers for their generosity and support.

Even if you missed the gala, you can support our students at any time with a gift to the scholarship fund. You can also check out photos from this year’s event. This photo site is password protected; contact development@nwacademy.org for the password.
