Our goals

The ISF Gala raises funds for our school’s Development Fund and local charities with a magical evening that brings to life the spirit and creativity of our community. This year’s proceeds will continue supporting those charities that already have close ties with ISF through the Community Service Day as well as the CAS program. All proceeds from the evening will support our children, our school and our Florence community through the following initiatives:

If you would like to suggest or sponsor an auction lot, please email us at isf_auction@icloud.com.
