The sun was out, the flowers were bursting with color, and the HNA community showed up in their garden party attire for a wonderful CHEER dinner and auction celebration! Guests enjoyed an evening of celebration and camaraderie all while raising critical funds for the school.
Notable highlights include Susan Trainor Holt and John Holt (Gemma ’13, Katrina ’15, and Portia ’20) being honored with the Blessed Marie Rose award for their service and dedication to the Academy; Kim Draggoo, HNA English teacher and Liz Swift Distinguished Teacher Awardee, delivering a beautiful Fund-A-Need speech to inspire our guests; and Sophia Looney ’16 who captivated the audience all night long as emcee.
Together, we exceeded our Fund-A-Need goal, which will go towards HNA’s scholarship endowment for need-based tuition assistance.
Thank you to our donors, bidders, sponsors, advertisers, guests, and volunteers who made CHEER 2025 an evening to remember!
