Quest Ball 2021 Program

Dear Friends, Thank you for joining Valley Christian Schools for our 7th Annual Quest Ball and Auction! Each year, this event is the cornerstone of the Extend the Gift Office’s annual fund-raising work and a beloved Valley Christian Tradition.

For 60 years, God has shown his love and faithfulness to the VCS Community through countless challenges. This year will no doubt go down in history as one of the greatest challenges our school has faced.

Still, the Quest for Excellence Continues, because of you!

Last year, despite the pandemic preventing our 2020 Quest Ball, our community stepped up in big ways to support our students. That support for our WARRIOR FUND made a significant impact and provided resources that were needed to adapt and support our students this year. Because of our Youth with Promise financial aid, almost 400 kids, who could not have otherwise attended VCS, were able to receive the financial aid needed to continue their education at Valley this year. What an incredible difference that has made for these students!

Despite the countless challenges of this year, our kids are truly receiving one of the best educational experiences that exist right now. The pandemic brought so much to a halt, but it did not stop the Quest for Excellence. Our parents, teachers, staff, and children, by God’s grace, have truly pursued excellence in all things this year. I hope tonight gives you a small glimpse of the many wonderful things happening in our community.

It’s the incredible and supportive community of parents, alumni, teachers, and friends who make all of this possible. For the last 6 decades, countless people have given their finances, prayers, talents, and time to Extend the Gift of Christian Education and build Valley Christian into the exceptional school it is today.

As the name suggests, the Quest Ball’s purpose is to fund the programs that make Valley Christian School’s Quest for Excellence a reality. The money raised tonight will go to the WARRIOR FUND, which provides financial support to VCS’ A3 curriculum (Academic Achievement, Artistic Beauty, and Athletic Distinction), faculty and staff compensation, and our financial aid program, Youth with Promise. Your contributions tonight and throughout the year are the backbone of the quality, Christ centered education that VCS is able to provide each and every student. It is the type of education that produces Warriors: tomorrow’s leaders properly equipped to serve God and family while positively impacting their communities and the world.

Thank you for your support; it is you that makes our ability to Extend the Gift of Christian education a reality. You truly are making a difference, and your support is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, Christi Stockhaus, Director of Advancement 3
