ROARing Hearts is the Lakeside Parents and Guardians Association's annual party and fundraiser. It is a fun evening with the primary goal of connecting with fellow parents and guardians and raising funds for Lakeside School. There will be fabulous student performances, a raffle, faculty speakers, a unique photo opportunity, music, dancing, a 3-course, seated dinner, and Fund-a-Future for financial aid. Please mark your calendar! The invitation will be emailed in early January.

Funds raised support Lakeside classroom enrichment, athletics, music, theater, visual arts, and financial aid. All these wonderful programs benefit every student, faculty, staff, parent, and guardian!

We need your help to make this event a great success!

Sponsor! Do you work with a business or would like to be a family sponsor? Sponsors are critical to help pay for the cost of the event and reduce ticket prices for all guests. Click here to learn about the levels (starting at $500) or to sign up.

Donate! Start thinking about items that are easy to donate like unused gift cards, wine/spirits, a vacation home, tickets to your favorite sports team, music, or theater performance, or a unique experience or lesson. We even accept gently used items in our very popular Vintage category! We accept items of all values. Click on the Donate Item link in the top menu bar for the form to fill out so you get credit for your donation.

Volunteer! If you enjoy working on big events or are looking to connect with the parent/guardian community via volunteering, we welcome your help. Click here to learn about our core committees that begin work now, especially procurement for our fabulous online auction. Many jobs can be done remotely. There will be more volunteer opportunities in the late fall/winter months too.
