Fortune
Fortune is Nardin Academy's largest annual fundraising event; the signature event is a festive evening of cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and a silent auction, followed by dinner and a live auction. Proceeds from the event directly support The Nardin Fund, which sustains the curriculum and activities that define the Academy’s unique student experience.
How YOU can become involved in Fortune:

- Purchase an advertisement in the event catalog
- Buy your ticket early
- Become an event sponsor
