Annual Foundation GALA
We’re thrilled for this year’s Lewis Center Foundation Gala—Moonlight Masquerade, a magical night inspired by the elegance of Bridgerton and the romance of Regency-era soirées.
With candlelight, soft string melodies, and masked elegance, we’ll honor our Distinguished Service Awardees and raise funds for the innovative programs, scholarships, and experiences that make our Lewis Center schools so exceptional.
