Fundraising Efforts at Glades Day School.

Glades Day School is a not-for-profit school. This means that although we do collect tuition from our students, we are reliant on contributions from our community to keep our school running. 

Our school runs a number of fundraisers every year, including a Winter Festival, a Golf Tournament, a Gala, and a Clay Shoot. 

Winter Festival

Our Winter Festival (formerly “Fall Festival”) is typically held in December and is a fun community event that is held here on campus. During the Winter Festival, we invite our students, parents, community, etc., to come on campus for a night of food, fun, games, and more! We likewise hold various auctions and a lottery to help further raise funds for our schools.

Golf Tournament 

Our Golf Tournament is a sponsor-only event. Those interested in taking part in the Golf Tournament can co-sponsor the event and create a team and compete against other teams.

Annual Gala

The GDS Annual Gala is the school's main fundraising event, drawing in participants who buy individual tickets or entire tables. Held at the Wycliffe Country Club this past year, the Gala offered attendees a multi-course dinner, live music, lively auction events, and games, making it a memorable evening for all involved!

The proceeds taken from these events are then used to cover our school's various costs, but are sometimes used to fund specific projects that we have planned for the school.
