Our goals
Our fundraising endeavors are dedicated to supporting the ISF Development Fund. The fund aims to enrich the educational experience of our children through our facilities, necessary resources, and programs that are unique to Florence and the International School community at large.
A substantial portion of the proceeds will also be donated to the Fondazione ANT (Associazione Nazionale Tumori), a national organization providing specialized home-care to cancer patients and free screenings for cancer prevention.
The auction
Thanks to our generous sponsors from the community and beyond, we have an evening full of surprises for you filled with an array of remarkable treasures and adventures. With your generosity and support we will make this evening a success for our school as well as our community.
You’re invited to participate in the online Silent Auction, now open, and the Live Auction on the evening of the event. Final bids for both auctions will be taken on May 17 during the ISF Gala.
Donations
Please consider lending your support to help us further reach our ISF Gala goals. Your generous support and participation will make a difference!
All sponsors will be prominently featured in our event program, website, and signage at the event.
Support the Auction
One of the most exciting parts of the ISF Gala is the auction, and the success of the event would not be possible without the help of our generous donors. We are currently seeking the help of individuals and businesses to donate exceptional items, travel opportunities or experiences as part of the auction for this signature event.
If you would like to suggest or sponsor an auction lot, please email us at auction@isfgala.org.
Support the Event
Make a special contribution to this year’s ISF Gala by underwriting the cost for a portion of the evening: sponsor a live band for the aperitivo, the lights on the dancefloor or flowers on the tables! Of course all sponsors will have their names listed and our eternal thanks.
Please contact Tanya Bruckner at t.bruckner@isfitaly.org for more information.
