Great Gatherings

A Great Gathering is an opportunity for a Friends School Family(ies) to host an event as a donation of their time/talent/treasure. This, in turn, gives families the opportunity to raise money for the school through a suggested donation registration fee. Great Gatherings are a fun way to bring parents, students or friends together to socialize and to raise money for the school.

Great Gatherings can take place in homes, at a park, at school, in a restaurant, on a bike… just about anywhere you can imagine. It can be a small group or a large group – with or without children.

Each gathering has a suggested donation of $20, however, there is a pay what you can option. All are welcome! We hope you join us!

Join a great gathering or host one!
