The Great Gatsby Gala was a roaring good time, not to mention a very successful fundraising event! Everyone turned out decked-to-the-nines, looking amazing – many in 20’s-inspired garb – and all contributed to what was an extremely glamorous and fabulously fun night at the Skirball Cultural Center.

We at Berkeley Hall School extend our most sincere thanks to our wonderful and dedicated Gala Chair Jaclyn Vercillo and her amazing team of volunteers. Our Emcee/Auctioneer Team, Tava Smiley and Demian Lichtenstein, were dynamic and gracious. Bid-for-the-Kids Hosts, Erica Moore-Burton and Chappale Burton, led the charge in a donation appeal with staggering results. Along with Tava and Demian, Brooke Lichtenstein helped lead the auction item procurement process. Behind the scenes, Auction Software Chair, Dorothy Sheng, spent countless hours heading up the process of entering into the bidding software each of the more than 200 items that our generous community donated. Graphic Designer Drew Frist was responsible for the beautiful artwork that you saw all year and helped bring Jaclyn’s vision to life. Mary Yang’s event company, Blossom Events, provided the evening’s beautiful floral arrangements.

There are too many dedicated volunteers to thank in this short message, but each and every one was absolutely indispensable and is appreciated more than words can express.

Also, to everyone who solicited auction items, donated and bid on them – thank you! To our sponsors and underwriters and Bid-for-the-Kids donors, thank you! To everyone who attended the big night – thank you!
