Thanks to everyone who supported Center teachers and students at Autos & Auctions 2020!

Over 250 Center alumni, parents, community members, staff, and corporate supporters joined together on February 29th to celebrate the Yellowjacket family and to raise funds to support Center teachers and students. Over $55,000 was raised for the Center Education Foundation's Teacher Grant program, support for the Impact Center Schools program to end student homelessness, and the newly created Tom Apel fund to send Center students to the Missouri Scholars Academy at MU. 

Highlights of the evening included:

• A wonderful dinner catered by Carmen's of Brookside
• Presentation of the Distinguished Alumni Award to Dr. William Baskin ('64), Carol DiRaimo ('79) and posthumously to Tom Apel ('72)
• 116 auction items were sold, including autographed items from Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, authentic Super Bowl confetti from the field in Miami, art work, bottles of wine, dining experiences, and lot of other wonderful items
• The annual Heads & Tails game generated over $1,800 in contributions
