Inspire! Gala and Auction Honoring Dan and Stephanie Prescott

October 17th, 2010. Westin Galleria

Akiba Academy is proud to honor Dan and Stephanie Prescott at our annual Inspire Gala and Auction on October 17th, 2010 at the Westin Galleria. “Dan and Stephanie Prescott are widely known for their contributions to Dallas in general and to the Jewish community, in particular,” Andy Schultz, President of the Akiba Board of Trustees."This event promises to be a beautiful tribute to two valued members of the community and a once-in-a-generation celebration of accomplishment and commitment.”

“The Prescott’s motto of ‘Building community with character and commitment’ is a great fit with our school,”

Among the organizations the Prescotts have given their time and dedication to are: The Jewish Community Center; Dallas Jewish Federation; Tiferet Israel; Akiba Academy; Yavneh Academy; and "Make a Wish" Foundation of North Texas.

Gala proceeds benefit scholarships, educational programming and professional development at Akiba Academy. Purchase ad space in the Inspire! magazine to advertise your business, pay tribute to our honorees or send a message to your Akiba kid(s). This new magazine is sure to become the premier periodical for Akiba and the Dallas Jewish community.

The Gala will include a live auction featuring unique experiences and luxurious getaways as well as an innovative online auction the week prior to the event (October 1 through October 14). Look for your formal invitation coming in September!
