Dear CSA District Families,

Excitement is building for the 29th Annual Beluga Ball on Saturday, March 21st! This is CSA District Parent Council’s largest annual fundraising event of the year. The Beluga Ball, which features both a Silent and Live Auction, will once again be held virtually, making it easy for everyone to participate.

Mark your calendar for a fun night at home, or gather friends and family to cheer each other on as you support an important cause. It is always inspiring to see our community come together to raise funds that directly enhance educational programs for ALL CSA District students.

‍New this year! Join us for an adult-only evening viewing party. Come cheer on the success of the Beluga Ball at an in-person celebration with CSA District faculty, families, and friends. Enjoy great food, beverages, and plenty of fun, plus exclusive bidding opportunities available only to those who attend. Tickets are on sale now! Click the link to purchase.

The Silent Auction will feature an exciting assortment of unique and must-have items! You’ll find gift certificates to favorite local restaurants, goods and services from area businesses, stunning diamond earrings from Silverstone Jewelers, a beautiful spa basket from Visions Spa & Salon, themed classroom baskets, and the ever-popular CSA District Staff Experiences.

In addition, several truly one-of-a-kind experiences are up for bid, including Michigan vs. Michigan State basketball tickets, a private shopping party at Brass & Oak in Downtown Brighton, a private permanent jewelry party at Lolly Ella in Downtown Brighton, a suite at a Detroit Red Wings game, and a three-month membership to Stemville Howell, just to name a few!

We are pleased to welcome back CSPA alum parent Jim Carey as our auctioneer! He is sure to keep the energy high and adrenaline pumping as he encourages us to keep bidding on the spectacular Live Auction items. This year’s Live Auction will feature beautiful, classroom-created projects, brand-new high-end items, a few fun surprises, and the always-popular Reserved Parking Spaces and First-in-Line-at-Carpool privileges at all three campuses.

Every year, the Beluga Ball raises an enormous amount of money for our schools. Last year alone, it was over $90,000. We cannot overstate the importance and value of these funds in the enhancement of the education of our students at all levels. In previous years, Beluga Ball funds have been used to purchase:

• Hundreds of Chromebooks
• Kindles
• iPads

• Books for the CSA, CSAMS, and CSPA libraries
• Projectors
• Math manipulatives

• Science lab equipment
• Microscopes
• Musical instruments

• Art equipment and supplies
• Electronic athletic scoreboards
• School performance equipment such as professional lighting, stage curtains, professional sound system

• Physical education equipment
• Benches in the Middle School and High School
• CSA Elementary playground equipment

• …and so much more! ☺

The parent partnership is an integral part of the magic of CSA District. Your support of all our parent groups helps to ensure your student receives an excellent and enriching educational experience, second to none.

I hope you, along with your friends, family, and neighbors, can join us on Saturday, March 21^st. We can’t wait to celebrate with you and make this year’s Beluga Ball the most successful yet!

In partnership with you,
