Great Gateway Gathering 2021

.

Thank You Gateway!

More than 200 parents/caregivers, staff and alumni showed up Saturday night, rocked their formalwear and cut a rug — but most importantly, they raised $63,072 for our teachers and students! We are absolutely overwhelmed by the generous spirit and joy of our community. We can't wait to do it all again next year!

Sponsoring the Great Gateway Gathering

The Great Gateway Gathering is a long-held tradition made accessible to all families through sliding scale tickets – from $0 to $100 per person – and all faculty and staff attend at no cost. This equity-based approach to ticketing and bringing everyone together is made possible by generous donations from our school community.

Sponsorships of $1,000 to $5,000 cover the true cost of hosting the event, make the event accessible to everyone who wants to attend, and ensure all of the fundraising we do at the party goes directly to our students, teachers and schools.

To make a gift, go to www.gatewayps.org/donate or email Chanda Lockhart at [email protected] to make a pledge. 

As a note: No one outside of our development team will know the sponsor list or gift amounts. This is an intentional equity choice as to not differentiate between families in a public or visible way.
