Extravaganza 2017 Raises More Than $272,000

Canterbury School is proud to announce that Extravaganza 2017 Paint the Town was an incredible success, raising more than $272,000! 

The event took place on the evening of April 1, 2017, inside Canterbury’s Murphy Sports Center, which was transformed into a colorful space complete with an art gallery showcasing our student-artists. Canterbury School wishes to thank everyone who gathered for a night of great food, live music, dancing, and fabulous auction items. This year, more than 275 people joined us for the event, the highest attendance we have had in more than 10 years! 

Canterbury School would like to extend gratitude to our presenting sponsor, Mr. Joe Catti and FineMark National Bank & Trust, along with our many other generous sponsors. We also wish to thank our fabulous emcee for the evening, NBC2 news anchor Kellie Burns, as well as Jay Severson, who served as the auctioneer for the event. 

Funds raised from the event benefit Canterbury’s academic programs, arts, athletics, faculty professional development, as well as support need-based financial aid. Also, more than $48,000 of the money raised at Extravaganza will fund the Grant a Wish project to renovate our Lower School playgrounds.  

Thank you to everyone for their support of this long-standing Canterbury School tradition. Click here to view a photo gallery from the event.
