📣 We’re excited to announce that ✨ Havana Nights ✨ has officially been chosen as the theme for this year’s MATES Benefit Dinner & Auction on April 24, 2026!

Think warm tropical evenings, 🌙 vibrant colors, lively music, 🎶 and a festive atmosphere inspired by Old Havana. Guests can have fun with the theme by wearing tropical-inspired cocktail attire — breezy dresses, linen shirts, florals, bright colors, and a touch of island flair. 🌴 It’s going to be a beautiful, energetic night filled with great food, live music, dancing, 💃🕺🏽 and of course an exciting auction!

But we need your help to make the auction amazing.

Our auction is one of the biggest ways we raise funds to support our students and programs, and we are currently collecting auction items such as:

• Gift certificates to restaurants, salons, or local businesses
• Local services (fitness, tutoring, home services, etc.)
• Sports or entertainment tickets
• Autographed memorabilia
• Vacation stays or experiences
• Unique items or packages

If you own a business, have a connection to a business, or simply have something fun to contribute, every donation helps!

To donate an item or connect us with a potential donor, please email:

Thank you for helping make this event incredible for our school community. We can’t wait to celebrate Havana Nights with you!
