A NOTE FROM OUR Benefit Chairs

Dear Hockaday Community,

The Hockaday Parents’ Association proudly announces the 2023 Benefit — Daisy Destinations: A Jet Set Fête — to be held on Saturday, March 25, 2023.

The annual gala and auction will benefit the Hockaday Athletics and Wellness Project – because good sportsmanship, health, camaraderie, and teamwork is a ticket to anywhere, launching students to limitless horizons!

Beyond athletics and wellness, we are proud to celebrate the timeless value of a Hockaday education that Miss Ela Hockaday envisioned nearly 110 years ago in 1913, preparing our girls as they take flight on the world stage. As we journey into 2023, we celebrate Hockaday’s inaugural “Travel Class” — 95 years later. In 1928, a group including two teachers and eight students set sail and traversed Europe for seven months, spending time and taking classes in Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Holland, and England. This tradition of the Travel Class lasted for 10 years, with the last Travel Class occurring in 1938–1939, prior to the beginning of World War II.

In that vein, the HPA Benefit theme is all about “Daisy

Destinations” — vacations, fabulous locales, diverse experiences, relaxed and yet glamourous environs… the era and age of vintage “jet setting” and a bon vivant atmosphere, both home and abroad.

Hockaday parents, alumnae, faculty, and staff are all coming together to plan an unforgettable evening, including live and silent auctions, entertainment, raffle winners, and fun surprises along the way. Throughout the school year, there are also special community engagements to get everyone excited about the journey throughout the academic year and beyond and to help raise funds via merchandise sales for ticket sales to individual fun “special occasion” events, and underwriting for the Athletics and Wellness Project.

We are all proud to be families who hold the passport of a Hockaday education, which gives girls a ticket to take flight toward global impact. We invite you to join us for Daisy Destinations: A Jet Set Fête.

Thank you in advance for your participation, generosity, and spirit. Additional information can be found at hockaday.org/benefit.

Come fly with us! It’s going to be a fun trip!
