On March 5, 2016, Charlie’s Club at Charles Wright Academy had its grand opening—and what a success it was! Fellows and flappers came out in droves to attend the 2016 Spirit Auction, and we can’t thank all of Charlie’s supporters enough for helping us make this evening happen. To our amazing volunteers and our generous donors, sponsors, and guests we want to say thank you for your contribution in helping us raise money to support the students at Charles Wright Academy. Charlie’s Club supporters hit on all sixes and together we broke several records! We’re so excited to support our “bright young people” now and for years to come with the newly endowed Robert Camner Fund for Faculty. Pat yourselves on the back folks—we think you’re the bee’s knees!

Thanks to all of our amazing volunteers and supporters, we had a fantastic year! Here’s a look at the 2016 Spirit Auction by the numbers:

  • 503 guests (an attendance record)
  • 1,942 bids placed
  • 33 bids placed on most-bidded item (CWA custom glass ornaments)
