Purpose of The Bridgerton Garden Gala
This year, the Village School Gala is a collaborative effort presented by The Village School's two nonprofit organizations, Village Enrichment (VSEO) and The Village School Parent Association (VSPA). The Village School has directed all proceeds from this year’s Bridgerton Garden Gala to benefit our Athletics Department. These funds will help provide student-athletes with upgraded equipment, enhanced training, and opportunities for travel competitions. This support will not only offer enriching extras but also essential resources beyond what tuition covers, elevating the overall student experience.
ABOUT VILLAGE ENRICHMENT
The Village School Enrichment Organization (VSEO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit tax-exempt charitable corporation (EIN Tax ID Number 93-1897524) operated by dedicated parent volunteers. Village Enrichment’s mission is to provide financial support to extracurricular programs at The Village School in the areas of the arts, athletics, speech and debate, STEM/robotics, beyond the classroom. Previous funding and support have included purchasing music equipment and licenses, and supplies; reducing costs for competitive travel tournaments; funding elementary school intramural sports programs; supporting specialist workshops; and much more.
