The fundamental goals of the Averill Park Education Foundation are based on our mission to identify, promote and support initiatives, programs, and services that inspire students to realize their academic potential and expand their educational and cultural opportunities. We are dedicated to supporting and working in collaboration with the greater Averill Park educational community by providing supplemental discretionary funding that delivers and achieves an exceptional educational experience for all current and future generations.
The APEF Annual Gala is our premier fundraising event. Held at the Old Daley on Crooked Lake, the gala offers an opportunity to publicly acknowledge and celebrate students, community volunteers, and educators while raising funds to secure the future of our important mission.
During the event, awards are presented, honoring educators and volunteers dedicated to making our school district an exceptional place to learn and grow. An annual ARTWALK and musical performances by the APHS Jazz Ensemble combine to create a festive and fun evening while showcasing the creativity and diversity of many talented Averill Park students.
Proceeds from the Gala in the form of ticket sales, sponsorships, financial donations, and contributions of auction items from businesses and individuals allow APEF to continue to support innovative educational initiatives and teacher enrichment grants and offer students monetary scholarships.
We invite your participation by supporting this critical fundraising event through ticket sales, financial contributions, and donations of goods and services. Thank you.
