head of school message Thank you for joining us for Country Palooza, the Parents Association’s 37th annual gala. We dedicate this special evening to celebrating, honoring, and supporting the heartbeat of our School­—our students.

This past year, Parker awarded over $5 million in financial assistance to over 20 percent of our students. Each year, as the demand for financial assistance grows, we are committed to meeting the needs of our students and their families. Monies raised through our annual gala go directly to support this top priority.

I want to extend sincere thanks to the Parents Association President, Marilyn Tobin, and members for their unyielding support of our School and to our generous sponsors for helping to underwrite tonight’s event completely. As a result of their incredible efforts, all monies raised tonight go directly to student financial assistance.

A special thank you to this year’s Gala Chair, Erik Keskinen, for his leadership. Following the success of the 2017 ParkerPalooza gala, coupled with his passion and love for music, Erik and this year’s committee of dedicated volunteers spent months preparing for this fantastic evening of country music. Truly, we are in for a special night.

Our thanks to our Gala speaker, Tyler Bernardini ’07, for joining us from England and sharing the inspiring story of his Parker experience, and the opportunities it provided him both personally and professionally.

On behalf of all of us at Parker, thank you for your support. Enjoy the evening, and thank you again for being with us tonight.

With much gratitude,

Kevin Yaley, Head of School

gala chair message Howdy Y’all, Like so much of country music, the Parker community is about family, and a family is never happier than when it is in harmony.

The generosity of Parker families, harmoniously working together to support our students, leaves me humbled and grateful. It is with profound gratitude that I thank all of our generous sponsors who donated over $235,000 to completely underwrite this gala, ensuring that every dollar raised tonight will go straight to student financial assistance. Way to, “Git ‘er done!”

Who knew I’d be writing this message so soon after ParkerPalooza?

My hard-working Gala Committee deserves every ounce of love and respect I feel for them daily. Their collective faith in my vision never wavered, and they generously gave countless hours of time and talent to bring Country Palooza to life. Parents Association President Marilyn Tobin’s steadfast support, the brilliance that is Lori Foote, and my Advancement heroes Shara Freeman Hoefel and Debbie Kempinski kept my caboose on the track, believing in me at times more than I did.

My deepest thanks go to all of you.

I must also thank my husband, Bob, and children Parker and Presley, for not just putting up with my shenanigans, but embracing them!

Now kick up your heels and have a good ol’ time at your country gala festival! Be generous in supporting the heartbeat of our community— our students—by raising your paddle at a level of which you are proud.

Yeehaw!

FEATURED SPEAKER

Sponsored by PROFESSIONAL MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS TYLER BERNARDINI ’07 From the time Tyler Bernardini ’07 first became a student at Parker in 2003, he dreamed of becoming a professional basketball player. Parker demanded much from Tyler, both on and off the court. He answered this challenge through countless hours of practice to perfect his game and hone his leadership skills, all while pushing through the academic rigor of a Parker education. Those hours of hard work paid off when Tyler earned all-state basketball honors in 2007 during his senior year, leading the Lancers to league co-champions as team captain.

Upon graduation, Tyler attended the prestigious Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in economics. In each of his four years at Penn, Tyler was a starter on the basketball team and received the honor of Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 2008. Tyler was invited to be a member of Penn’s prestigious Friars Honor Society.

After Penn, Tyler was offered a chance to live his dream as a professional basketball player when the Carlsbad native was recruited for the Italian Basketball league as a guard on the Mapooro Cantu team. Two years later, he accepted a position with the Leicester Riders in the United Kingdom. The Riders earned the title of League Champion three times during Tyler’s five years with them. A team captain for two years, Tyler received MVP accolades in 2015, 2016, and 2018.

With a desire to further his education, Tyler earned a Master of Science with a concentration in international management from Loughborough University, UK in 2016. Tyler began his career working as sales director for the Leicester Riders Basketball Club where he managed sales, marketing, and promotion strategy. Recently he joined Morgan Stanley London’s office on their foreign exchange sales team.

Tyler currently lives in London, with his wife, Emily Hunt Bernardini, and their sheepadoodle, Gryffindor. He serves as Ambassador to several nonprofit organizations including Hope Against Cancer and Alex’s Wish.

Auction items must be paid in full and can be picked-up at check-out.

Event and Opportunity Drawing Tickets

None of the event or opportunity drawing ticket costs are recognized as a gift to Parker.

The event ticket cost tax-deduction is based off the FMV, which is the estimate of how much the evening would cost if someone were to purchase a similar experience at a commercial establishment. The FMV for both regular and advance ticket prices are $175 for Sponsors, $150 for VIP and $110 for General. Please consult with your tax professional as to the deductibility of ticket(s).

Receipts

Receipts detailing purchases will be generated from the Greater Giving auction software and e-mailed within one month following the Country Palooza. The Advancement Office will also mail an official gift receipt and acknowledgment letter for outright gifts in support of Fund-a-Scholarship and School auction items (i.e., parking space, promotion packages) in which the winning bid is $10,000 or more.

What to Wear

The Country Palooza music festival is all about comfort! Your favorite dungarees and western inspired shirt will have you looking just right; add some cowboy boots and you’ll be “on point!” You could also choose to wear your favorite country artist t-shirt or (if your feelin’ like an outlaw) dress as your favorite country performer! This is an outdoor event so you may think about a wrap or denim jacket for the evening.

Proxy Bidding

We do accept proxy bids from non-attendees.
