On Saturday, May 17th, parents, staff, faculty and friends of TEA gathered at Everline Resort & Spa in support of our “Celebrating Legacies: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” Gala.  We honored Sherry McConkey (founder of the Shane McConkey Foundation) and Rosie Striffler (founding TEA Kindergarten teacher) with Constructive Adversity Awards in recognition of their tremendous perseverance, compassion, and positive impact on the lives of young people. The evening was an inspiring testament to the passion and generosity of our community. Ultimately, we raised $1,161,700 for scholarships, faculty compensation, and fieldwork from our online silent auction, live auction and Fund-The-Need. We could not be more grateful to our Sponsors and Donors for their generous outpouring of support for our students and program.
