With the generous and passionate support of so many, A Whimsical Evening at the Garden raised critical funds for The SAA Scholarship Fund.

SAA Scholarship Fund
Thanks to your support, we raised over $140,000 for our Scholarship Fund during the evening's much anticipated Paddle Raise!
This generous support of the SAA Scholarship Fund will make a transformative impact on the lives of students. Each year, there are SAA families who struggle financially to continue at SAA. Further, there are qualified students who are unable to attend SAA because the family’s financial need exceeds the school’s available funding.
If you have not had a chance to participate in SAA’s Scholarship Fund, please help us give every gifted student the opportunity for an SAA education. Donate now »
