The Evergreen School Spring Benefit

A Community Gathering

Each March, the Evergreen community comes together at the Spring Benefit to celebrate and support our school. In 2025, we gathered for The Wonder Ball, a night of joy, connection, and celebration inspired by our core values—community, wonder, resilience, voice, and responsibility.

Held at Fremont Studios on March 21, the evening featured dazzling entertainment, including a silk aerialist, a shimmering hoop artist, and mind-blowing magic, all set to the beats of KEXP DJ Troy Nelson. Guests enjoyed a WONDER-inspired photo booth, dining, dancing, and meaningful connections—all in support of Evergreen students.

A highlight was hearing from an Evergreen alum, and class of 2025 high school graduate, who shared how her Evergreen experience helped her find her voice, build confidence, and prepare for success—both in the classroom and on her path to becoming a Division I college athlete.

We are thrilled to share that our community raised over $350,000, surpassing our annual fundraising goal! These funds directly support Evergreen’s mission, vision, and values, ensuring students continue to thrive.

This success was made possible by our amazing volunteers, generous donors, and everyone who attended and raised their paddles. A heartfelt thank you to everyone—and a special shoutout to our 2025 Spring Benefit Committee Chair, Caitlin Echelbarger, for her leadership and dedication.
