As part of Carolina Day School’s Black and White Gala 2024, you can enter our famous Gala Tuition Raffle. This opportunity only comes during Auction Gala years, and one lucky family could win $25,000 off 2024-25 school year tuition! You may enter to win tuition credit for your own family or designate your ticket to a family of your choice who is enrolled at CDS for the 2024-25 school year. The drawing will be held and the winner announced at the evening of the auction gala, April 13th.

In addition to our traditional Gala Tuition Raffle, back for another year is the Family Night Hot Lunch Raffle! The lucky winner of this raffle gets a free lunch for one enrolled child every day hot lunch is offered during the 2024-25 school year—an estimated value of over $1,500! Hot Lunch Raffle will be drawn at Family Night on Thursday, April 11th.
