Meadowbrook Under the Stars Glamping, anyone? This year’s Meadowbrook Fund launched with a spectacular camping-instyle-themed evening. Called Meadowbrook Under the Stars, the inaugural event celebrated $1 million raised toward a $2.35 million goal for the school’s annual fund, thanks to commitments from 100% of the board of trustees, 98% of the faculty, and many, many families. Nearly 400 attendees gathered in and around a tent festooned with paper lanterns, stars, and plenty of fairy lights. All enjoyed delicious food and drink—including s’mores for dessert, of course—while catching up on the dance floor, around fire pits, and by the digital photo booth. Every detail was beautifully laid out, thanks to the creative vision of Barrett Yates Mack P’25. “People were elated to be there,” notes Chief Advancement Officer Michele Daly. “It was the first time in two years that the parent community could gather. For newer families, it was the first Meadowbrook event they had ever attended.” If you haven’t yet made your gift to the 2021-2022 Meadowbrook Fund, there’s still time.
