Our annual dinner auction, Springing Forward, was held on April 21st. It was an exciting event that brought together 140 people and created an enthusiastic community of support for Academy of the Cross. We are thankful for the wonderful volunteers who did all the work to organize the event, we are immensely grateful to all who donated items to be auctioned, and we are amazed by the generous people who attended and supported the work being done. We are truly blessed!
The actual amount raised will be available as soon as all income and expenses are accounted for.
Plan now to attend next year's event which will be held sometime in April of 2013. The exact date will be announced as plans are finalized.
