BASH

Our annual BASH (Building A Scholastic Heritage) campaign plays a vital role in Prep's ongoing commitments to deliver educational excellence to 1,000 young men, to keep their tuition affordable and to provide $3 million in annual financial assistance to over half of them. Bottom line, ALL FUNDS raised through BASH go to support financial assistance for our students!

It is an exciting, fun-filled time highlighted by a wonderful evening in the Heider Center complete with a gourmet dinner, a raffle drawing, auction and raise-the-paddle. Many people put forth tremendous effort to make the night a reality including Prep students and staff, the committee chairs and hundreds of volunteers who generously give their time, talent and resources.

BASH 2023 will take place Saturday, April 22, 2023, with the online auction running from Monday, April 17 through Saturday, April 22.
