Dear Friends of the Allentown School District Foundation,

At the Allentown School District Foundation, we believe in the power of bold ideas to transform student lives. For more than sixteen years, ASDF has proudly partnered with the Allentown School District to encourage, promote, support, and fund positive educational experiences for all ASD students. Together, we have raised millions of dollars and impacted tens of thousands of children through literacy, STEM, arts, civic education, and scholarship programs that ignite possibility and open doors to a brighter future.

This spring, we invite you to join us on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at the Palace Center for our 16th Annual High Notes Gala - “Skating into the Future.”
This year’s theme celebrates forward motion, balance, and momentum - the very qualities that carry our students, teachers, and community toward new opportunities. High Notes remains our premier fundraising event, uniting community and business leaders, educators, alumni, and friends of public education in a night of inspiration and artistry.

Each year, the Gala also serves as a showcase for ASD’s incredible student performers. From dance and theatre to instrumental and vocal music, our young artists take the stage to remind us what’s possible when creativity and education come together. Proceeds from the event directly support these programs and the many innovative classroom experiences that ASDF funds across the district.

We hope you will consider sponsoring, advertising, or attending this year’s Gala to help us continue this life-changing work for the nearly 17,000 students we serve. Please, reach out to our offices for a sponsorship description sheet or click the link below to find information on sponsorship levels and benefits. Your investment will help ensure that every ASD student has access to the tools, opportunities, and inspiration they deserve.

Thank you for standing with us, believing in our mission, and helping us keep the City of Allentown’s students moving boldly into the future.

With appreciation and excitement,

D’nese Sokolowski, M.D. Co-Chair (WAHS ’88) & Taylor E. Brown, Co-Chair
