Our 2024 Flamingo broke all fundraising records and goals and it was a BLAST! The smiles, laughter, clapping, bidding and STANDING on chairs for Wyclef were a testament to the fabulous night. Best of all – a record amount of money was raised for our public schools. $1.9 MILLION IN ONE NIGHT! When we add the sponsorships and tables sold – our total raised is a record $2.4 million dollars!
The support we saw came from all corners of our community. Our support comes from parents, grandparents, AHS graduates, friends, local business owners, and teachers. Our support comes from those of you who have lived in Aspen for 50 years and some of you who are only visiting. The thing that every one of us has in common is our commitment to the children of our community and to our public schools.
Thank you to our event and table sponsors and to each of you who bought a ticket, an auction item, or raised your paddle. Thank you to our teachers and administrators. Thank you to the St. Regis Aspen who went above and beyond to create an outstanding night. Thank you to our event committee, Elizabeth Slossberg, and EKS Events who put in countless hours to make everything run seamlessly.
AEF is in conversations with the district on how to put the additional dollars raised to the most efficient, immediate and impactful use for our students. THANK YOU!
