Haldane fundraiser held at Topfield
The Haldane School Foundation raised more than $25,000 at its annual fall gala held Oct. 21 at Topfield Equestrian Center. The event featured music by Nash East, barbecue from Farmers & Chefs, a bourbon-tasting from Yannitelli Fine Wines & Spirits and craft beer by Industrial Arts Brewing Co.

The proceeds will fund educational enrichment programs at Haldane schools. More than $9,500 was raised during a silent auction that included an architectural drawing of the high bidder’s house by Madeleine McGinley and tickets to Kinky Boots on Broadway. The tally also included $3,000 from a pledge drive to pay for field trips, which had been scaled back due to budget constraints. To donate, see haldaneschoolfoundation.org.
