Events

The Foundation hosts a number of highly-anticipated signature events each year that provide funding for our programs.

  • The Scholarship Awards event is held near the end of each school year. Community organizations and individual scholarship funders enjoy meeting their student and a parent, as the awards are presented.
  • Our annual Earth Day Poster Contest gives students in grades K-8 an opportunity to use their creative talents to increase awareness of environmental issues.
  • The New Haven Fun Run is a  5K fun run/walk for people of all ages. The event is held in conjunction with the annual district New Haven Day celebration. Show your school spirit and wear your colors!
  • The Mutt Strut is fun for the Foundation’s four-legged supporters, as well as those with two. The event is held at the historic Masonic Home in Union City, and features games, a pet parade, information and entertainment.
  • Our Annual Gala is honors New Haven’s Diamonds in Education. Enjoy great entertainment, including music and casino games. Count on excellent food, friendly bartenders and staff, and of course, decadent desserts.
  • The Stars on Stage benefit variety show takes place every other year and presents professional, or near professional, performers.
