Dear Friends, Welcome and thank you very much for attending our fifth annual Quest Ball Dinner and Auction. It is the cornerstone of the Extend the Gift Development Office’s annual fund raising work and a beloved Valley Christian tradition.

Since 2013, thousands of VCS families have donated millions of dollars into the programs, students, and teachers through the Quest Ball Dinner and Auction. This event has become a true testament to the commitment of our community to the mission of Valley Christian Schools. In five short years, Quest Ball has earned the reputation as one of the most successful school auctions in the South Bay, mostly due to the incredible amount of effort put forth by our staff and volunteers. Without great leadership and dedication, ensuring the Quest Ball’s continued success would be impossible.

We would like to sincerely thank our event volunteers, committee members, school senior leaders, auction donors, and table/event sponsors. Your efforts were invaluable! We would like to specifically recognize our committee chairs: Nia Castelly, Danielle Barnett, Rikki Hanna, Marci Laidlaw , and Jane Murchison.

These women were responsible for the “heavy lifting” that made this event possible and their dedication is greatly appreciated by the entire Valley Christian community. Finally, we would like to recognize our Quest Ball co-chairs, Jen LaBarbera and Cheryl Brashears. Jen and Cheryl have graciously agreed to take on the task of leading this event since its inception, a truly special sacrifice of time, talent, and treasure.

They have led a tireless effort behind the scenes to ensure each part of this event met the Quest for Excellence standards. The Extend the Gift Development Office could not have produced this event without all of their support, and we cannot thank them enough for their commitment to Valley Christian Schools.

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 here tonight and throughout the year are the backbone of the quality, Christ-centered education 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. Enjoy the food and fellowship, and good luck bidding! You truly are making a difference, and your support is greatly appreciated.

Regards, Mike LaBarbera Extend the Gift Executive Development Chair

STAND UP FOR VALLEY’S KIDS “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” ~ Philippians 2:4 This is the opportunity to change a student’s life! The most important function of the WARRIOR FUND, and the Quest Ball that supports it, is raising money for Valley Christian Schools’ Youth with Promise, financial aid program.

During the 2018-2019 school year, Youth with Promise made it possible for over 345 students to attend Valley Christian. Without financial assistance, these scholarship recipients could not attend Valley Christian Schools or benefit from the opportunities it affords. Youth with Promise not only ensures socio-economic diversity in our schools, it also changes lives.

Tonight you will have an opportunity to give a direct donation to Youth with Promise. All funds raised during Stand Up for Valley’s Kids will be earmarked specifically for this program and the students whose lives it will change.

Getting involved is simple. When prompted you will simply stand up to show your support for our at risk students. It is a visual representation of our commitment to these families and the generosity of our community supporting them. All donations are celebrated, as the power of this event is everyone working together to support our students, not just those who are able to donate at the highest levels. Donations start at $100. When the level reaches your desired contribution amount you simply sit down and one of our attendants will record your name and bidder number.

Should anyone wish to donate at a level of $25,000 or more, these funds can, at the donor’s option, be used towards supporting 100% of the education costs for one of the students in our public/private school partnership, Junior University. These students will be carefully selected from a list facilitated by our public school partners. They will be students who are deemed to have the characteristics necessary for success at Valley Christian, but who would not be able to attend without 100% support. The donor(s) will know the student they are supporting, and will receive status reports of progress and success of their sponsored student. This is the opportunity to truly change a child’s life and, as a bonus, your own. We recognize that some of our guests may wish to donate in a less public fashion. For those guests, we have provided donation cards on the table that can be filled out and turned in to the table attendant to participate in supporting Youth with Promise privately.

Please join us in what has become one of the most special moments of the Quest Ball.
