Superhero Gala
“You only have your thoughts and dreams ahead of you. You are someone. You mean something.” - Batman Holy Gala, Superheroes!, Welcome to Superhero Gala 2017 - a perfect theme to capture the spirit of our community! Princeton Academy was founded by superheroes who listened when Superman told humanity that we “are much stronger than we think”. For 18 years, we have been guided by a mission to develop in our boys the superpowers of creativity, compassion and courage so that our young men can be leaders of a just society and realize, like Spiderman, that “with great power comes great responsibility”. With Epic Vision, today we soar up, up and away with heart seeking to lead a national reinvention of boys’ education for a new generation of enlightened men. As we gather together in the Hall of Justice (aka the MACC), let us unite around our common purpose: bringing out the best in boys. The world needs superheroes, and so does Princeton Academy. Thank you for your participation and support at Superhero Gala 2017! Whether you are a fan of Marvel or DC Comics, there is no discrepancy regarding who the real superhero leaders are when it comes to Superhero Gala 2017. Please join me in thanking our Superhero Gala Dynamic Duo Clare Millington P ’19 and Cynthia Wallace P ’19. Your tireless efforts on behalf of our boys are inspirational and this night is proof of your superpower - we have no choice but to unmask your true identities with gratitude! I would also like to thank the Gala Committee Sidekicks and all of our inspiring volunteers for their coordination and organization of this amazing evening. Superhero Gala would not be possible without the infinitely generous support of our Sponsors and Donors. Let’s join forces in thanking everyone who participated in making the night a super success. One hundred percent of the net proceeds from tonight’s event will directly benefit our young men. Tonight’s Gala has special significance as we look to make the dynamic strategic initiatives within Epic Vision a reality. Have fun, enjoy each other’s company and know that you are making a positive impact on the life of Princeton Academy and the lives of our boys. Get ready to soar...Princeton Academy Superpowers unite!
