A Night for the Red & White

More than 600 attendees celebrated at the 2019 A Night for the Red & White, including parents, community members, and Shaker educators (shown here). This 27-year tradition continues to thrive as neighbors and friends come together for a night of celebration in support of the Shaker schools. This gala event annually draws more than 600 attendees who enjoy dinner, dancing, and robust bidding at the silent auction, along with student music performances, an outstanding art show, and student-led exhibits featuring innovation and robotics. At the 2018 event, the Foundation introduced the Innovation Fund to support hands-on learning in science, technology, arts, engineering and mathematics. Additional funds were also raised for each of the District’s eight school buildings for other enrichment projects, including fine arts, health and fitness. The 2019 A Night for the Red & White raised $42,000 in direct donations to the Innovation Fund. The event also honored members of the Class of 1950/51 for their significant fundraising contributions, which have amounted to nearly $300,000 over the past decade. Their efforts have made possible a summer learning academy to help at-risk students succeed at the High School, and a social and emotional learning program for elementary students.

Save the date for A Night for the Red & White, Saturday, March 7, 2020 at Hilton Cleveland Downtown at 7 pm. We hope to see you there!
