Save the Date for Bloom Spring Gala

Dear Salisbury Academy Parents: 
 
On Saturday, March 18, 2017, Salisbury Academy will host our signature fundraiser gala, Bloom Industrial, at the historic North Carolina Transportation Museum. Attendees will enjoy cocktails, dinner, a live auction, and dancing.

Guests will have the opportunity to bid during the live auction on items. The after-auction festivities will continue with live music and dancing.

Bloom was designed to support Salisbury Academy and the youth of our community. A portion of the funds raised go to a scholarship program for summer youth leadership training opportunities and toward Salisbury Academy's active community service outreach initiatives.

Over the next few weeks we will share more details on how to support this event as a host, purchase tickets, help decorate, and bid on exciting items and experiences!  We hope you will save the date and join us for this memorable evening.

Contact Tracey Baird at [email protected] for more information.

Sincerely,

Beverly Fowler, Head of School
