Dear Oakridge Family,

Our school is more than just a place of learning; it is a luminous nexus where our students’ dreams take shape. Each year, we come together to ensure those dreams have the resources they need to flourish.

On Saturday, March 7, 2026, I want to personally invite you to cross the threshold into a domain where the familiar dissolves into the extraordinary at our 47th annual Super Supper and Auction: A Surreal Soirée.

The Super Supper and Auction is one of our most vital fundraising event of the year. The contributions made through sponsorships and our live and silent auctions directly impact the opportunities we provide for our students.

However, as we “surrender to the labyrinth of wonder" for one night, the true magic lies in community building. In a world that often feels mundane, this evening is a chance to gaze inward and celebrate our shared presence. It is a time to strengthen the bonds between parents, faculty, alumni, and friends. When we gather as "architects of our own existence," we aren't just raising money; we are reinforcing the spirit of the Oakridge "village" that supports every child’s unique journey.

Under the creative leadership of Chair Rachel Richardson, this year’s event at The Vault at Blue Flag Distillery promises to be much more than a dinner—it is an evening suspended in artistry. We invite you to step into this dreamscape by letting your "soul’s vibrant tapestry" take shape through our "Imagination Unbound" dress code. Whether your attire is a bold, artistic statement or an extravagant kaleidoscope of your waking dreams, your presence is what completes the vision.

You can help bring this surreal world to life and support our students by securing your tickets for a night of motion and melody. We also encourage you to join dedicated partners as an event sponsor to help offset costs and maximize our impact, or to contribute unique items to our auction that will help make the entire experience truly magnificent.

By joining us for A Surreal Soirée, you are choosing to be part of something larger than a party. You are investing in a future where logic meets the sublime, and where our community stands united for our students.

We look forward to seeing you there!

With gratitude,

Matt Burgy
Head of School
