The 24^th Annual Manhattan Wine Auction raised over $1.3 million (net) for our schools, and what a night it was! The evening was filled with great food and wine, good times with friends and neighbors, and a spirit of community and generosity that was awe-inspiring.

One of the evening’s highlights was the Fund-a-Need Paddle Raise to fund visual arts education, a growing parent priority in the District. $165,000 was raised – an incredible show of support that reinforces the impact MBEF has on the caliber of teaching and learning in the District.

The outpouring of generosity speaks volumes about our collective commitment to ensuring the long-term success of our schools and enhanced educational opportunities for our children.
