A Night to Celebrate and Support Westchester
Since 1989, Westchester Country Day School's annual auction, The Blue & White Gala, has raised funds in support of moral, academic, artistic and athletic excellence. One of the school's only fundraisers for the year, the gala is a well-loved and anticipated tradition that gathers parents, teachers, alumni and friends together in celebration of the Wildcat community.
Sponsors, item donors, and attendees all show their collective appreciation and support for Westchester and the high-quality independent school experience it provides to children. Proceeds from the event have a direct impact on Westchester’s students and faculty. The money raised each year goes to support classroom enhancements, technology, professional development, and much more.
The gala has been hosted in a variety of locations, both on campus and in the community. Each year, hundreds of attendees join in from across the Piedmont Triad, in addition to guests from all over the country. The gala includes dinner, silent and live auctions, a paddle raise for Chuck’s Fund, and live music and dancing. All proceeds support Westchester's mission and programs.

Give to Chuck's Fund
Chuck’s Fund is named in honor of Chuck Hamblet, beloved Head of School from 2006 to 2009, who initially established a Head's Discretionary Fund. Gifts to Chuck's Fund create a resource for the head of school to use at his or her discretion to address needs for which there is no budgeted funding. These funds enhance the academic, artistic, and athletic programs at WCDS by allowing the head of school to say "yes" when teachers come with requests during the school year. In past years, Chuck's Fund has helped provide professional development opportunities, special equipment, classroom resources, speakers and performances, a college and life skill workshop series for students, and many more.
