Friends Celebration 2026: Investing in Tomorrow’s Brightest Possibilities

Join the Sandy Spring Friends School community as we come together to invest in tomorrow’s brightest possibilities! This year’s Friends Celebration—formerly known as the PA Auction—will raise vital funds to build the School’s endowment, ensuring that the life-changing gift of an SSFS education remains accessible for generations to come.

As the Parents Association’s premier fundraising event, the Friends Celebration features an online auction open to the entire community, plus an unforgettable evening of dinner, dancing, and a spirited fundraising appeal showcasing the generosity that defines SSFS.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 2, 2026 and plan to join us for this inspiring night of community and philanthropy. This event if for our entire community (parents, alumni, grandfriends, monthly meeting members, faculty/staff, former students, etc.) as we celebrate our shared commitment to nurturing bright futures.

Registration will open on March 10, 2026 and close on Friday, April  17th. This event sold out last year, so don't delay in registering!
