Many thanks to the 200 guests who traveled to Monte Carlo with us on March 1, 2025! The Annual Gala was a vibrant and magical evening that sparkled with the generosity of the Briarwood and Tuttle community. Thank you for raising your paddle and your glass to the success of our schools and Mustang Athletics.
Thanks to your generosity, the Annual Gala raised significant funds to support our students, faculty, and athletic programs. Funds raised during “Paddles Up for Mustang Athletics” will benefit every student, whether competing on the field, training in the gym, or cheering from the stands. Additionally, donations to the Annual Gala will enhance faculty professional development, provide tuition assistance, and further enrich the technology resources available to our students.
The Briarwood and Tuttle Schools thank our major donors and sponsors, underwriters, donors, and silent auction contributors for making the 2025 Annual Gala a stunning celebration of our mission to educate and empower students with diverse learning needs. The Briarwood School is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID: 81-4638450). For corrections, with our apologies, please email advancement@briarwoodschool.org.
