Annual Gala

This year’s Annual Gala, Fairy Tales & Fables, brought our community together in celebration and to raise funds for need-based student scholarships! Together, with a matching grant from the Quest Foundation, and an additional match from the Dixon Family, our community raised over $280,000 in support of Northwest Academy programs and student scholarships.
 
The success of this event is dependent on all of the people and businesses who support Northwest Academy. We would like to thank our guests, sponsors, donors, students, and volunteers for their generosity and support.
 
Even if you missed the gala, you can support our students any time with a gift to the scholarship fund.
