The 2019 Evening of Support Gala

Celebrating over 40 Years of education Outside the Box

The 2019 education Outside the Box Gala was a magical evening filled with supporters from our community, HPS alumni, current students, parents and HPS staff! To those who attended, sponsored, donated items for the auctions, volunteered their time and talents, thank you for helping to make the evening a great success. We count on you and appreciate your support of the Hunterdon Preparatory School and our mission to provide exceptional educational services to our students.

Thanks to the overwhelming support we received from the HPS community we were able to purchase two new transportation vans from one of our generous sponsors, Flemington Car & Truck Country. The vans were put to use immediately, transporting our students to field trip locations, internships, and school sponsored off campus events. These vans were critically needed and will continue to serve our students for years to come. 

Several other initiatives are in process that are a direct result of the generosity of our supporters. Please visit Your Gifts in Action to read about the many ways that our three (2015, 2017, and 2019) Evening of Support events are having an impact on our students and the programs we offer at Hunterdon Preparatory School. 

The Giving Tree was new to our event this year and because of the interest our supporters showed in contributing directly to specific current needs we plan to make this opportunity available to our community more frequently! The Giving Tree provided gala guests with the opportunity to purchase a Chromebook for a student, fund a school field trip, or bring a subject area speaker to the school campus to engage students in an enrichment topic. We will update Your Gifts in Action as these Giving Tree donations are put to use in the coming months.

Once again, thank you to our community of friends, families, students, alumni, and staff for partnering with us to help make Hunterdon Prep the very best it can be in meeting the needs of each and every student.

As you make your donations and contributions to our school keep in mind that many corporations have a Matching Gifts Program that will, in some cases, allow you to double your donation while giving your company the opportunity to build a relationship with Hunterdon Prep. 

Special Thanks to our 2019 Sponsors
