This annual celebration of the CBA community is always a joy to be- hold as we honor our wonderful children and their families, the great work of our dedicated faculty and staff, and the unwavering commitment of our board of trustees. Tonight, we will bask in the warm “glow” of service to our students and the Hampton Roads Community. The importance of this event to CBA’s continued growth cannot be understated. Each year the proceeds of the auction provide much needed funds to support new programs and initiatives, expanding curricular as well as after-school offerings for our students; the funds facilitate a range of professional development opportunities for faculty and staff to enhance their skills and expertise; And, the event provides scholarship funds that are vital to our ability to serve many students who would oth- erwise be unable to afford this life-changing educational opportunity.
