Thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday to support the FMS 7th Annual Fundraising Gala. We are so grateful to the 320+ people who joined us for the event and so generously bid and donated that evening. It was wonderful to see everyone having a great time and enjoying a parents’ night out together supporting a wonderful cause. We are truly humbled by the outpouring of support for the Mandarin programs at College Park and Bayside Academy.

It really took a village to pull off the gala this year. Our awesome team of volunteers went above and beyond, giving an incredible amount of time, energy and passion to make this happen. Furthermore, our many donors and sponsors showed tremendous support by giving so generously to our cause.

So let’s cut to the chase shall we? Drumroll please….for this year’s gala, after all expenses we netted $150,000! This brings our year-to-date FMS fundraising total to $250,000. We did it!
