The vibrant spirit of the Charles Wright Academy community came alive on March 16 forSpirit Auction 2019: Havana Nights. More than 300 guests and remote mobile bidders generously gave over $400,000. We are so grateful that the proceeds of this event will benefit the students of Charles Wright Academy!

The $161,100 raised during this year’s Fund-A-Needgoes toward an updated child-centered playground and the Diane Hunt Outdoor Classroom (see page 37 for details). These facilities will ensure our students, preschool through grade 12, will have the same kind of rich and meaningful experiences of playing and learning outside that many alumni had when they were young.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our lead sponsor, Titus-Will Automotive Group, and co-chairs Trevor ’93and Cassandra Will for leading a coalition of volunteers who delivered a gorgeous evening in support of theCWA experience.

Thank you to all of the families, faculty, staff, and friends of Charles Wright who supported the Spirit Auction. Because of you, current and future Tarriers will continue discovering their passions inside and outside of the classroom.
