50 golden years

Rickey and Erin Williams and Alissa and Scooter Hicks (pictured, from left) chaired the Grace School’s fête50 celebrating 50 years of faith-based education. The sold-out crowd of 300 guests packed the Hotel ZaZa Memorial City for an evening of dinner and dancing and raised $538,000 to fund projects including a new playground, transportation for athletics and field trips, fine arts programming, and athletic and academic competitions. Guests enjoyed a seated dinner, dessert stations, and specialty cocktails in the event space that was decorated with accents of Grace Gator blue, and entertainment that included live music, wine and whiskey pull, big-board auction, paddle raise, live auction, and silent auction. Head of School Dr. Liz Walgamuth spoke about the achievements of the school and exciting plans for the future.
