Thank you for making our Benefit Bash such a blast!
We’re thrilled to report that the 2026 PPAS PTA Benefit Bash on May 3rd was a huge success and a good time was had by all! We set an all-time attendance record and we’re on track to exceed our fundraising goal by 50%!
Thanks to all who attended, volunteered, donated, sponsored, celebrated, provided auction items and in-kind donations, and joyfully cut a rug and had a fab time dancing to our DJ’s beats!
Special thanks to those donors helping us honor Parent Coordinator Teri Gindi, the 2026 Reach for the Stars Award recipient, while supporting the performing arts experience for all our fabulous kids at PPAS. Every amount, gesture and volunteer moment – no matter how big or how small – is contributing to our success!
We’re grateful to our mighty volunteer Benefit Bash Leadership Committee, who are still working to bring every facet of this effort to life!
If anyone would like to help with next year’s event – to find a venue, help secure in-kind beverage and auction donations and more – please contact our Co-VPs of Fundraising at VPFundraising@ppaspta.org. We intend to meet and kick off 2027 planning as soon as possible this fall!
Our amazing and inspiring Parent Coordinator Teri Gindi received the Reach for the Stars Award at the Bash event!
