TASIS SPRING GALA RAISES CHF 110,000 Everything aligned for a perfect night as 178 guests arrived for the TASIS Parent Association’s “Building the Future” Spring Gala on the evening of Saturday, April 21.
A live auction was conducted by the incomparable Edward Rising including items from private jet flights to driving a McLaren through the Alps. All proceeds will help support the construction of Valzonico.
Aperitivi on the lawn outside the Palmer Center and Palestra were followed by an elegant dinner upstairs in the beautifully decorated Palestra. Throughout the evening guests enjoyed live music performed by TASIS students, members of the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana, and the band of Elementary School music teacher Melody Zanecchia.
