"Derby" Themed Concert Fundraises in Style!
The Nazro Green was filled with Derby hats and cowboy boots as St. Andrew's friends and families joined together on a breezy, beautiful spring evening to "toast the Derby" at the Concert for Financial Aid on May 3.
Parents, friends, faculty, and staff enjoyed partaking in Derby-inspired cocktails and food, posing in the photobooth—with a live horse!—and perusing the many silent and live auction items up for bid. Click here to see the online gallery of photos!
Head of School Sean Murphy donned a searsucker suit and straw hat in true Derby fashion, and welcomed guests with a blessing and some remarks on financial aid, before launching the Live Auction.
Live auctioneer Andrew Bost playfully bantered with bidders while rapidly auctioning off exotic trips, exclusive passes, even a glass of water, all for the benefit of St. Andrew’s Financial Aid program. Winners toasted over champagne as Emerald City Band took the stage and the crowd took the dance floor to end the night with a bang.

Though the final numbers are still being tallied, ultimately St. Andrew’s students will benefit from another year of generous giving by our St. Andrew’s community. Click here to see how your gifts impact all our students.
