The Purple Tie Committee of Darlington School is pleased to announce that “Tigers & ’Tails” will be held on Saturday, Aug. 13, 2016, at 6:30 p.m. in the Johnson-Drummond Amphitheater behind Thatcher Hall. In case of rain, the event will be held in the Johnson Field House.

“Tigers & ’Tails” will feature refreshing themed cocktails, a savory meal, some dancing, auctions and raffle prizes, all to benefit Darlington’s parent council organizations: Upper and ELA-8 Tiger PRIDE, the Fine Arts Booster Club and the Athletic Booster Club. Patrons are invited to enjoy a casual evening al fresco on the Darlington campus in summer cocktail attire—and purple is a plus! 

Plans are now well underway, led by committee chairs Andrea Bell, Tashia Twyman and Megan (Gates) Watters ('97), along with the efforts of 10 other committee volunteers.

The committee is working to finalize additional details of the event, which will include a band, reverse raffle options, and a live/silent auction component. Live and silent auction bidding information will be accessible online leading up to the event. 

We hope that the ENTIRE Darlington Community—day and boarding parents, alumni, parents of alums, faculty and staff and friends—will join us for ‘Tigers and ’Tails,’” said Andrea Bell. “This event is a wonderful way to connect or reconnect with the Darlington Community, while raising money for our vital parent council organizations."

Admission to the event is $75 per person, and includes dinner and an open bar. A patron table level is also offered for $1,000, and includes seating for eight attendees, a centerpiece and one reverse raffle ticket. Click here to purchase tickets and tables. 

The grand prize for this year's reverse raffle is $10,000 cash or tuition credit for your oldest child up to $18,000 (to be used in one school year). Second prize is $2,000 cash. Each raffle ticket is $100, and is available for purchase from Booster Club delegates, the Admission Office, the front desk at Thatcher Hall, and also online. Only 350 raffle tickets will be sold.

Formal invitations will be sent to current Darlington families this summer. “Tigers & ’Tails”—it’s a Purple Tie Affair!
