Organizers outline Piedmont Spring Fling gala and fundraising needs for April 25
Summary
Community volunteers Heather Frank and Monica Riddle announced the Spring Fling gala theme 'Piedmont Palm Bridal' for April 25, 2025 at the Scottish Rite Center in Oakland, highlighted sponsorship opportunities, and asked for auction donations and volunteer leadership.
Heather Frank and Monica Riddle told the board about plans for the 2025 Spring Fling gala, encouraging the community to save the date and participate in sponsorships and auctions that support schools. "The theme is very fun. It's gonna be Piedmont Palm Bridal," Monica said, and organizers said the gala will be held at the Scottish Rite Center in Oakland on April 25, 2025 from about 6 to 11 p.m.
Organizers described multiple fundraising streams: parent sponsorship levels (which include an exclusive parent-sponsor party), an online auction for smaller items and a live/silent auction for major-ticket items and experiences, and parent-hosted theme parties in the run-up to the event. Committee members said parent sponsorships raised about $100,000 the prior year and asked the community to donate items and volunteer; they provided a contact phone number and two websites for more information (piedmontspringfling.org and piedmontedfoundation.org).
Volunteers asked the community to consider bigger-ticket experiences (vacation homes, unique excursions) and specialty donations (e.g., decorated cakes) to support silent and live auctions. Board members thanked the organizers for stepping up and encouraged community participation.
