Rooted and Rising: Saint Mark’s School Annual Gala

Saint Mark’s School will host its Annual Gala, Rooted and Rising, a Spring Auction and Party on Saturday, March 14, at 5:30 p.m. at the University Club in Pasadena. The event comes at a meaningful moment for the school community following the loss of its beloved Altadena campus in last year’s Eaton Fire.

Despite this tremendous setback, Saint Mark’s demonstrated extraordinary resilience. Classes resumed within just two weeks, and in less than two months the school unveiled a new temporary learning environment known as Saint Mark’s Village—an inspiring testament to the strength, determination, and unity of its students, families, and staff.

As rebuilding and remediation efforts continue, the school now relies more than ever on the support of generous community partners. Rooted and Rising serves as a vital fundraising opportunity to help sustain educational programs and provide ongoing support for students impacted by the fire, while work progresses toward rebuilding the Altadena campus.

The evening will celebrate not only the future of Saint Mark’s School, but also the heart and resilience of a community that continues to grow stronger together. Through collective support, Saint Mark’s can rise with renewed purpose—firmly rooted in its values and inspired by the promise ahead.
