With over 400 guests in attendance, the 2026 Gala & Auction was a joyful celebration filled with energy, laughter, and incredible community spirit!

What a truly special night for Catlin Gabel! Gathering with more than 400 parents, volunteers, and supporters was a powerful reminder that what makes our school extraordinary is all of you. From students warmly welcoming guests and the Jazz Band setting a festive tone to memorable performances by members of our own community—including Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse alongside the Upper School Choir, Music Teacher Judy Rose, and Head of School Tim Bazemore on bass—the evening reflected the spirit we create together.

Thanks to this shared generosity—through bidding, volunteering, and donating—we raised an incredible $780,000 (and counting!) to support our students, teachers, and the experiences that define a Catlin Gabel education.

To all the parents, teachers, volunteers, and donors—thank you! Nights like this don’t just raise funds—they strengthen the community our children grow up in, and we are grateful to be part of it together.
