ABOUT THE EVENT
Laguna Blanca's Spring Benefit is an honored tradition of the community coming together to celebrate this extraordinary school and its faculty, students, and nearly 90 years of educational excellence.
We are delighted to invite you to join us on Saturday, April 23 for our annual Spring Benefit, as we join in friendship and community for a celebration of Laguna's very own "Triple Crown"- our exceptional Lower, Middle and Upper Schools. So put on your festive hats or bowties, sip mint juleps and jockey for a position on the dance floor on our Hope Ranch Campus race track for "Laguna Blanca Stakes—A Triple Crown Affair!"
At this time, our event is at capacity.
