HOST A PARTY BOARD EVENT
Help raise money for our school at the Golden Oak Gala and host a party board event. These ticketed social events are hosted by a family, or families, where all ticket proceeds go to the school. Party Board Socials are fun for new and old friends alike and can be adult, child, or family events. Dinner parties, outdoor movies, and beach gatherings all do really well. Contact Cate Stoll for more information or if you have an idea for a hosted event.
