WHY DO WE HAVE A BENEFIT?
We are a non-profit school, and the proceeds from the Benefit help cover educational initiatives not funded by tuition. Proceeds from the Benefit enable us to say "yes" to innovative school programs, competitive compensation for our beloved teachers and a diverse student body supported by a robust financial aid program. Your support is an investment in the education of each and every student and truly helps Calhoun thrive every day.

2020 THEME
This year’s Calhoun Benefit theme stems from the recent 50th Anniversary of NASA’s Apollo 11 mission, and the successful moon landing. Our theme takes us not to a particular moment in time or history, but takes us to another place, another dimension: Space!

Space is deep, unexplored, futuristic. The Calhoun Benefit 2020: A Space Odyssey is all those things, and also modern, sleek, sexy. We will transport you off of planet Earth, and into a place filled with stars, solar flares, astronomical opportunities and unexplored galaxies where anything can happen!


2020 WHAT TO WEAR
Take inspiration from the stars when planning your attire, and shine in your own unique way! Shiny silver jumpsuits, glowing neckties, moon boots, planetary prints or even your little black dress would be on theme if you add some sparkle! Celestial hair accessories will be on sale in the school lobbies on February 23. Feel free to glimpse through our Pinterest for further insight.


2020 WHAT'S NEW
* 90-minute cocktail hour
* Event start time of 6:30PM and end time at midnight
