The Bird Bash
Bird Bash Cafe Cardinal included live music, delicious food and drink, and both a live and silent auction. It was a year of firsts for this tradition - first time off campus, first online silent auction, and first time with a non-profit auction company. With over 200 guests in attendance, it was a successful evening, raising over $101,000 for James River Day School! All proceeds from the Bird Bash will support the school’s vision to enhance the cafeteria. As the video below shows, improving this vital community space will have a tremendous impact on our students’ daily experiences. For those who would like to support our endeavors, it's not too late. Please join us by donating.
