Announcing the 2023 FASD Fundraising Event
VERNISSAGE
Last May, our first-ever fundraiser was a tremendous success - thank you FASD Families for you support!
We have new and exciting plans in the works for our event this year.
Tickets are on sale now! We hope you'll join us!
THEWhy?
In 2021, The French American School of Denver became Denver's first and only public French immersion elementary program. Fundraising helps us bridge the gap between the financial resources Denver Public School system provides and what is actually needed to implement our unique curriculum and ensure the success of our school.
All proceeds support FASDenver directly. Your support enables us to:
-
Retain highly specialized staff and supports
-
Offer upgraded technology for our scholars
-
Fund special projects
-
Provide ongoing teacher training and support
-
Grow our school from Kindergarten through 8th Grade
theevent
Parent Volunteers and FASD staff are hard at work planning a spectacular event for our families and our supporters in the community at large. We invite supporters of tuition-free French immersion education in Denver to join us at this amazing event to help continue the legacy we are building at our blossoming school!
THEAUCTION
Support FASD by bidding on fabulous items (including AMAZING student art) where proceeds go directly to our wonderful school. We have an array of items like music and vacation experiences as well as museum, dance, art, photo and even special teacher experiences, to bid on! What are you waiting for!
art+portraits
The highlight of VERNISSAGE will be the auction of handcrafted art created collectively by each of our seven classes. Each unique work of art will be available to bid upon by YOU, and should you win, you'll be taking home a one-of-a kind piece of art stamped by each child in any given class. You can't put a price on that!
​
Additionally you will have the opportunity to purchase a special photographic portrait of your child, with all proceeds going to FASD!
What to wear
It's a kid-free night out, so feel free to dress up a little if you want! Think creative, and don your best speak-easy artistic style!
