2025 Spring Benefit
Dear Friends,
Welcome to Harrisburg Academy’s 39th Annual Spring Benefit, The Academy Awards. This year, we step back to a bygone era as we celebrate our school on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 5 pm to 7:30 pm, in the restored, art-deco West Shore Theatre, a community focal point since 1940. Thus, it only seems fitting that the first viewing of a Harrisburg Academy original film, capturing 1940s student life at the Academy, will be shown in this majestic venue on this special night. As you will witness, life certainly has changed since then at the Academy, but one thing remains the same: celebrating and providing for our most important assets, our students!
The evening’s festivities will include a trip to the Golden Age of Hollywood complete with a red carpet, heavy hors d’oeuvres, sweet treats, a hosted bar, and a look at not only the past of Harrisburg Academy through cinematography but also the future, as we raise funds for our maker space, providing hands-on learning opportunities for our students. Dress to impress in Old Hollywood or cocktail attire.
If you cannot make the celebration, you can still participate in the silent auction where we showcase some of our most prized items.
- The online silent auction basket preview will open at noon on Friday, April 25, 2025.
- Online bidding for the silent auction baskets will open at 10 am on Saturday, April 26, 2025.
- Baskets will be on display during the event at West Shore Theatre.
- The online silent auction closes at 7 pm on Saturday, April 26, 2025.
We hope you will consider joining us on this special night, as everything purchased directly impacts our ability to provide unparalleled academics.
Thank you to this year’s auction donors and sponsors; we are grateful that our school community can come together for the 39th year of this fundraising tradition in support of Harrisburg Academy.
Warm regards,
Harrisburg Academy Development Team
