Special Events & Tournaments
Every year, the Gunston Community hosts three premier community fundraising events. The proceeds from these events account for 30% of our Annual Giving Program—unlocking life-changing financial aid for 72% of our students, powering elite student activities like Robotics and Mock Trial, and preserving treasured traditions like Embarkation, Green & White Days, and Open Mic nights.
