2024-2025 Event Sponsorship Opportunities
Gunston holds three fundraising events each year, the proceeds of which support our Annual Giving Program, which allows us to offer students and faculty opportunities beyond what a tuition fee would typically pay for such as leadership conferences, robotic competitions, and the ability to establish and maintain treasured traditions such as Green & White Days, Embarkation & Disembarkation, bonfires, open mic nights, and more. Additionally, annual giving provides 60% of our students with financial aid. The success of these events is entirely dependent upon the generosity of our community. On behalf of the students and faculty of The Gunston School, we would be grateful for your consideration of a corporate or individual sponsorship.
