The 2008 Wright Spirit Auction, organized by the Parent Association, lived up to its Cest Fantastique theme.  The group met their goal of raising $500,000 at the event to support construction of the new Language and Performing Arts Center.

The fund-a-need request brought in more than $145,000 in gifts from $100 up to $40,000.   These donations were matched by a gift from Holroyd, a sand and gravel operation, and its owners Stephen and Rita Nielsen.  Stephen graduated from Charles Wright in 1974.  His brothers David ’73 and Mark ’79 are also CWA alums.  Stephen and his wife Rita have a set of twins in the eighth grade here – Decker and Alex.   

The CWA Parent Association annouced today the names of 30 sponsors supporting the 2008 Charles Wright Spirit Auction and Dinner. The C’est Fantastique event is scheduled for March 15.
