Bishop’s gala raises funds for scholarships, teacher training

The Bishop’s School’s 30th annual gala Vineyard Knights took place April 18 on the school’s campus, co-chaired by Kathryn Hamon and Susan Piegza of La Jolla and Juliann Ford of Rancho Santa Fe. Each year, the auction event raises approximately $1 million to support the school’s student need-based financial aid (serving about 20 percent of the students) and faculty professional growth programs.

Giuseppe Catering provided dinner for some 500 guests, and the band Cash’d Out provided the music for dancing. Key to the gala’s success was the signature wine auction, and live and silent auctions that emphasized items offering unique experiences.
