Letting the Good Times Roll

We are so grateful...

On Saturday, February 10, more than 300 Norwood parents, teachers, and staff members gathered for a special night of fun and fundraising for the School’s fi nancial aid and professional development programs. More than $230,000 was raised, benefi ting every child and every teacher.

Held at The Ritz-Carlton on 22nd Street in D.C., the 2018 Norwood Auction featured a festive “Norwood in New Orleans” theme, a variety of exciting auction items, a delicious meal (including New Orleans specialties such as shrimp and grits, jambalaya, and beignets), and lots of rocking and rolling on the dance fl oor (live music courtesy of Lloyd Dobler Eff ect). There was even a Mardi Gras parade led by none other than Matthew Gould himself.

Special thanks to DeeDee Fisher and Heather Tyrer, this year’s auction co-chairs, and to our generous volunteers, donors, bidders, patrons, and corporate sponsors (Maryland Capital Management and The Cohen Group). “We are so grateful to everyone who supported this important event for our school,” said Matthew. “Not only did it raise critical funds for two important programs, it was a wonderful celebration of what makes Norwood such a special school and community.”

The Saturday night event was preceded by an online auction, which ran February 2-8 and raised nearly $40,000.
