Parents, teachers, faculty and staff from The Fay School poured into the Corinthian downtown for school’s annual gala and 25th anniversary celebration. Flowers and dangling crystal balls draped the ceiling as a cocktail reception kicked off the silent auction. Gala co-chairs included Elva Akin, Carrie Chaplan, Jennifer Cunningham, Shanna Halperin, Megan Pond, Tica Perwien, Erica Levit, Sarah Pollock, Jennifer Shellist and Debbey Guy. Wowing the bidders were live-auction items such as a black Lab puppy and a vacation at a home in Watercolor, Florida. The event raised a record $500,000 for the school. Pictured are (back row, from left) Shellist, Guy, Akin, Melissa Lawson, Chaplan, Rina O'Malley, Danielle Stewart, Pond, (front row, from left) Anna Gurvitch, June Lovland, Natalie Wall and Lauren Granello.
