Spring Gala

Each year, the Spring Gala brings the Westmark School community together for fun, friendship, and philanthropy! Powered by ticket sales, sponsorships, and a live and silent auction, the annual event primarily supports the School’s tuition assistance program so that more and more families can access the special education their children need. 

At the Spring Gala, attendees also raise their paddles for one or more special projects or initiatives. Recent paddle raises have funded passenger vans for School-sponsored trips, upgraded laptop technology, enhancements to the Westmark News Network broadcast studio, audio-visual equipment rentals for theater productions, a ceramic kiln space, new scoreboards, and more.

On Saturday, March 15, 2025, Westmark held "Lion Strong in LA: Spring Gala 2025" at the Skirball Cultural Center. To learn more, see below.

Plans for Spring Gala 2026 will be announced later this year. Check back then for information.

Lion Strong in LA: Spring Gala 2025

Held just weeks after devastating wildfires in Greater Los Angeles, Spring Gala 2025 was celebrated in a spirit of community and our shared love and hope for the City of Angels. Guests spent the evening connecting with one another; bidding on live and silent auction items; raising their paddles to equip Middle and Upper School students with new laptops and to upgrade the lighting inside Lund Auditorium; dancing the night away; and more.
