Reach for the Stars Gala Catalog

What DA Students Say: “The teachers at DA care about my learning and make every effort to make sure I understand what is being taught.”

“It’s like one big family here at DA.” “I ran my fastest mile time with the DA Cross Country team last week!”

“For the first time I was able to participate in sports like basketball and wrestling.”

What DA Parents Say: “The last year of public school, my son missed 45 days of school, the first year at DA he missed 2!”

“We have found the right place for our intelligent, creative, athletic son!”

“DA has gone out of their way to help our son to feel successful, to make sure he comprehends what is being taught, and to maintain communication with us.”

April 25, 2009 Dear Family and Friends of Denver Academy, This year I have experienced a wonderful immersion into the Denver Academy community. We have a beautiful and safe campus and an incredibly vibrant school family. Over the past nine months I have been inspired by the dedication and enthusiasm of our faculty, staff and Board of Trustees and have been graciously welcomed by DA’s incredible families and friends. So many people are dedicated to our long-term success and are generous in their support of our school.

What impresses me most at Denver Academy are our remarkable students.

They are resilient, optimistic, energetic, and creative. At Denver Academy each student has the opportunity to realize his or her particular strengths and learn within an innovative and differentiated program of studies.

There are many children who would benefit from a DA education but are unable to afford it. With your attendance and generosity at our Gala you have helped ensure that more children needing a Denver Academy education will have this unique opportunity.

Thank your for making a substantial difference in the lives of students and for supporting the mission of Denver Academy.

Sincerely,

Kevin M. Smith Headmaster

Please take time to familiarize yourself with the items in this catalog and mark those items you are most interested in bidding on. Items will be displayed on tables by category and can be identified by the item number. This catalog contains only those items available at the time of publication. Additional items may be available at the auction, so be sure to browse the tables and look at the catalog addendum available at the Gala check-in table.

• The highest legal bid, circled by the table captain at the close of that category, constitutes the winning bid. All efforts will be made to make this a fair process. This year we have some “share a bid” items. These are events where there are an identified number of tickets to attend and a set price. No bidding is required, just make sure to sign up to attend at the set price by adding your name and bid number to the event sheet before it is full. Your invoice will include the per person or per couple charge for the events you sign up for.

When checkout opens proceed directly to item pick up. If you did not participate in the credit card swipe at check in, you must proceed to the cashier. After you have paid for your items, proceed to item pick up.

• Every attempt has been made to catalog and describe the auction items correctly, but all items are sold “as is” with no warranties expressed or implied. No statement contained in the catalog or made orally at the Auction or elsewhere shall be deemed to be such a warranty, representation or assumption of liability. By purchasing, the buyer waives any claim for liability against either Denver Academy or the donor of the property or services and neither Denver Academy nor the donor of the property or services is responsible for any personal injury or damages to property that may result from the utilization of property or services sold.

• If an item is sold for more than fair market value, the difference is deductible as a donation. Where it is not possible to establish a fair market value for one-of-a-kind items, the purchase price will be presumed to be the fair market value, and no part of the payment will be considered a contribution. Please consult your financial advisor.

• We regret that items received after the publishing deadline could not be included in this catalog. An addendum will be distributed the night of the auction.

• All items should be paid for and removed from the premises by the buyer by the close of the evening. Denver Academy, the Hyatt Corporation, nor any agent associated with DA Gala 2009 shall assume responsibility for items not claimed.
