This year's gala is a made-up, invitation-only supper club with an absurdly fabulous backstory. Long dormant, Chez Claude is opening its doors again for one night only. A dinner party with a secret history, a wink of mischief, and a mission: to raise funds for the Lycée's long-dreamed-of cantine.
Fresh, Healthy, and Culturally Inspired Meals for Every Student
This year, the Fund for the Future is focused on the Lycée Cantine project. This two-year initiative aims to provide all students at all our campuses with access to fresh, healthy, and culturally inspired meals available for purchase. This will allow us to celebrate French and International gastronomy and use the teaching kitchen to incorporate nutrition and science into our pedagogy.

How is the money raised used?
Ticket purchases and underwriting go towards the cost of the event. The funds raised at the Fund for the Future (FFF) paddle raise during the live auction, are strictly dedicated to this year's FFF, the Lycée Cantine - Phase 2. Except for the FFF, all proceeds from the online, silent, and live auction items are directed to the more flexible Lycée general operating budget. Any funds allocated to the general operating budget can be directed to the FFF, Financial Aid, Global Learning, or Professional Development. Sponsorship and Advertisement are directed to Financial Aid.
