Directions & Transportation Information
Our goals
The proceeds will be donated to the new ISF “Development Fund” which promotes Junior and Upper School projects that improve the learning environment for our students, such as STEM and robotics development, multimedia and digital equipment, maker spaces and live performance equipment.
A substantial portion of the proceeds will also be donated to the Meyer Children’s Hospital. The Meyer is one of Italy’s most renowned children’s hospitals and a place of great importance to all our families as well as the greater community.
The auction
Our generous sponsors have helped us to compile a series of exceptional auction lots, giving you the opportunity to leave the event with a luxurious holiday, a one-of-a-kind experience or splendid products from the Tuscany region.
We invite you to participate in both the online Silent Auction, now open, and the Live Auction on the evening of the event. Final bids for both auctions will be taken on May 12 during the ISF Gala.
Donations
Please consider lending your support to help us further reach our ISF Gala goals. Your generous support and participation will make a difference!
All sponsors will be prominently featured in our event program, website, and signage at the event.
Support the Auction
One of the most exciting parts of the ISF Gala is the auction, and the success of the event would not be possible without the help of our generous donors. We are currently seeking the help of individuals and businesses to donate exceptional items, travel opportunities or experiences as part of the auction for this signature event.
If you would like to suggest or sponsor an auction lot, please email us at auction@isfgala.org.
Support the Event
Make a special contribution to this year’s ISF Gala by underwriting the cost for a portion of the evening: sponsor a live band for the aperitivo, the lights on the dancefloor or flowers on the tables! Of course all sponsors will have their names listed and our eternal thanks.
Please contact Tanya Bruckner at t.bruckner@isfitaly.org for more information.
