Our 2026 Gala theme is “Raise It Up!”

Join us for an uplifting spring evening dedicated to raising a new generation of leaders through Sparhawk Academy’s high school. Set beneath a tent in the Upper Paddock, the night will gather families, friends, and supporters in a spirit of shared purpose. Our goal is to raise critical funds to support the continued expansion of our high school and the programs that prepare students not only for academic success, but for lives of character, service, and meaning.

Keynote remarks will be made by Matt Bowman, Executive Director at The Zephyr Institute. He will anchor a program that also honors the life and courage of Matt Anthony, a devoted Sparhawk Board Member who was a key supporter in the founding of our high school. Mr. Anthony lost his life in a heroic act last summer while trying to save his friends. As Matt Anthony’s close friend, Matt Bowman helped initiate the extraordinary search-and-rescue effort and will share reflections on Matt’s legacy. The evening will also include the presentation of the inaugural Matt Anthony Courage Award, ensuring that Matt’s example of courage and selflessness continues to inspire our community for generations to come.
