On Saturday, May 13, 2023, the Viewpoint community came together for our 40th Annual Benefit at the Skirball Cultural Center with hundreds of guests  gathering to celebrate the creation of the Cathy Adelman Endowment Fund for Financial Aid, the first-ever endowment to provide tuition assistance specifically to students in our Primary and Lower Schools. Guests were treated to a live acoustic performance by Gavin DeGraw, as well as hours of incredible music from The De-Bois All-Stars, a 12-piece band provided by de Bois Entertainment. 

The event netted a record-breaking $1.2 million, surpassing last year’s record breaking Diamond Jubilee by $200,000. This stunning success is a testament to the philanthropic heart of our community and to our shared commitment to Viewpoint’s World Ready Promise. We are so grateful to our Benefit leadership, donors, and volunteers for making the creation of this new endowment possible. 

In Cathy’s words, “…I really believe we’re going to change lives with the generosity of our community. That just means everything to me. What more could you want in your life but to feel like you’ve made a difference. And we will, and we are making a difference in every child that’s here. I really truly believe that with all my heart, but now children that would not have been able to come are going to be here.”
