Join alumni, parents, and friends of NYA as we present Casino Royale the evening of Friday, April 26.
The Soirée is an occasion for our community to come together for a lively night of camaraderie and support for NYA. This year’s Casino Royale themed event will feature games and prizes, music by Wavelength, dinner, a hosted bar, live auction and paddle raise. Volunteers, sponsors and attendees all play important roles in the success of the auction. We hope you will gather your friends and make plans to join us, all are welcome. Proceeds from the Soirée support NYA’s excellent educational programs.
Last year’s NYA Soirée raised $226,040 for the Academy. Thank you to all who made this possible!
“Raise A Paddle”
All are invited to raise their paddle in support of NYA’s academic programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math — subjects collectively known as STEM.
Your support will be a crucial investment in enhancing STEM education at NYA, including:
*New courses to strengthen STEM education for students in all divisions
*Enhancing existing lab-based and hands-on programming and facilities
*Strengthening integrated technology throughout campus
*Adding a “STEM champion” to the faculty to drive curricular innovation at all levels and prepare students for success in an increasingly complex world.
Raise A Paddle for STEM and contribute to the success of NYA students for generations to come.
