Magical Musical Gala & Art Auction

This year's Magical Musical Gala and Art Auction was a tribute to the power of music in our lives and its impact on creativity and imagination. The event was held Saturday evening, September 28 at the historic estate of Auburn, currently owned by Claude and Lynn Hornsby and once the vacation home of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

Always one of our most popular and well attended events, the evening was filled with fun and creativity, decadent food, raffles, both silent and live auctions, and MUSIC! Enjoy a glimpse into the lively event and festive personalities!

 

This year, prior to the Gala and starting at 5:00 pm, there was a special reception in Auburn's boxwood garden for attending members. While strolling the garden to the sounds of a string quartet, members enjoyed a signature cocktail created for the event and an array of delicious appetizers. Each member also was given a specially created party favor to express our appreciation for their continuing support. Here's a sampling of the reception pictures:

The Bay School would like to thank the many individuals who were critical in making this year's Gala & Art Auction a success.  

Thank you to Claude and Lynn Hornsby, our gracious hosts who allowed us to use their beautiful estate as this year's location for the Gala.

Thank you to our tremendous team of volunteers, board members, and staff who put in numerous hours of effort and heart to pull the event together.

Thank you is extended to our 2024 sponsors for making this year's event a tremendous success!

Also critical to the success of our Gala & Art Auction was the generous contributions of auction item donors.  A big thank you also is extended to these fine supporters of The Bay School!
