The Fundraising Gala is one of d.tech's biggest fundraisers of the year. Thanks to the incredible dedication of our volunteers each year, our event not only brings in much-needed funds but also provides a fantastic opportunity for our parent community to come together in support of our students and teachers. If you would like to learn more about being a volunteer with the auction team or at the Fundraising Gala, please contact fprice@dtechhs.org

How Did We Do Last Year?

Thank you so much to everyone who attended last year’s Fundraising Gala at the beautiful Domenico Winery. It was a night filled with making new friends, great food and wine, dancing, and fundraising for our students and teachers. Thank you also to everyone who participated in our auctions and to all the families who made valuable donations to our auctions. We cannot do these events without the help of our community, so thank you!
