GloBall 2026 Recap

What a Night!

$82,000+

raised and counting

Dear Northeast Families,

Thanks to each and every one of you, the GloBall Fundraiser raised over $82,000 — an incredible achievement that speaks to the spirit of this wonderful community.

From the families who donated and bid on auction items, to the volunteers who gave their time and energy to make the evening possible, this was truly a team effort. Upstairs at Porta was packed, the energy was electric, the generosity was overwhelming, and the disco ball was spinning.

These funds will go directly toward enriching our students' experience at Northeast — supporting programs, resources, and opportunities that make this school such a special place to learn and grow — especially in these uncertain times.

We are so grateful to be part of a school family that shows up like this — not just on event nights, but every single day.

Thank you again for your support and generosity,

Jenna, Lauren, and Sabrina

The GloBall Committee

P.S.

The fun isn't over! Give your wallets a breather and look for future communications about the parent parties happening this spring.
