Blackfriars Gala a Resounding Success!
This year's Blackfriars Gala was an entertaining and impactful evening for
Fenwick High School.
On April 20th, we honored three prominent members of our community, participated in an exciting and competitive live auction, and celebrated with nearly 500 of our Fenwick friends and family. The dance floor was in full swing til midnight!
We are grateful to announce that the evening raised over $375,000 (net) towards financial assistance for our talented and deserving students. We would like to thank you all for this accomplishment: our sponsors, donors, host families, student volunteers and our guests at the Gala.
View the videos of Mr. V. James Marino ’68, Dr. Kenneth S. Nelson ’75 and Monsignor Michael M. Boland as they accept their awards and address the student body at Friday morning's Awards and Induction Ceremony.
