A Financial Aid Benefit Event

-Dinner, Entertainment, Food & Fun-

Join us for our annual Cake Contest & Auction, a Student Financial Aid Benefit Event which promises to be a classy night of good food, outlandish entertainment, and an all around good time! Of course, in the spirit of the “Under the Big Top” themed night, we invite you to come ready to be entertained by the ringmaster, while taking part in bidding on student & family-made cakes as well as a special “reserve” silent auction just for in-person attendees! The best part is, it is all for a great cause as we seek to launch our fundraising for the 25-26 school year Financial Aid Fund needs to ensure that our students who depend on financial aid in order to partake in the blessing of learning and growing at Burton Academy may continue to do so!
