The Gala

One night. One community. One million dreams

Each year, the FASNY Gala brings together parents, alumni, faculty, and friends for one of the most anticipated evenings of the school year.

On Saturday, May 8, 2027, join us for La Vie en Rose, an unforgettable evening inspired by the elegance of Paris, the energy of New York, and the vibrant international community that makes FASNY so special.

Beyond the celebration, the Gala is an opportunity to come together in support of our students and the future of our school. Through the generosity of our community, funds raised help enrich the educational experience at FASNY, support financial aid, and provide opportunities that inspire our students to learn, grow, and thrive.

Together, we can make a lasting difference.

L'Hermione, the frigate of Lafayette

The Hermione Award

Honoree Coming Soon...

FASNY presents the Hermione Award to an individual whose accomplishments embody our mission of educating globally literate and multicultural lifelong learners. It is named after L'Hermione, the ship that carried the Marquis de Lafayette to America: a symbol of the enduring friendship between France and the United States.

Our 2027 goal

Supporting Every FASNY Student

The FASNY Gala is more than a celebration. It is an opportunity for our community to come together in support of the educational experiences and opportunities that make our school exceptional.

Our goal is to raise $1 million through ticket sales, sponsorships, auctions, and donations to support FASNY's educational mission, including financial aid, academic enrichment, athletics, extracurricular programs, faculty development, and technology.

Celebrating 20 Years of the Olivia Tucker Scholarship Fund

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Olivia Tucker Scholarship Fund, and in celebration of this milestone, our Gala Paddle Raise will be dedicated to supporting the fund. For two decades, the fund has helped make a FASNY education accessible to deserving students, regardless of their families’ financial circumstances. With your generosity, we can continue opening doors and creating opportunities for future generations of FASNY students.
