Bid-for-Kids
Each fall, over 200 volunteers and donors work together to create a spectacular evening at the Bid-for-Kids Dinner Auction. Unique themes and creative decorations transport attendees to interesting places and times where they have the opportunity to bid on over 400 exciting prize packages. From the silent auction and ticket auction to specialty raffles and the live auction, there’s something for everyone at LuHi’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Bid-for-Kids annually raises close to $150,000 for programs and enhancements that directly benefit our students.

The 2019 Bid-for-Kids Auction Dinner was held on Saturday, November 16, 2019. Inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, the theme for Bid-for-Kids XXXV was Wonderland, A Mad Hatter's Ball. The Visscher Gymnasium was transformed, and all enjoyed a fabulous evening as attendees traveled down the rabbit hole to a wonderland of spirited bidding and loads of fun with family and friends.

*Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the 2020 Bid-for-Kids Auction was changed from its usual live November event and held virtually in two installments, one to honor the originally scheduled date of November 14, 2020 and the second on May 15, 2021. Please reach out to Jane or call her at 516-626-1700 x 549 if you’d like more information.

Save the date and join us at Bid-for-Kids XXXVII, returning as a live event on November 13, 2021.

Flourish Campaign (January-March)
A long tradition of multi-year, comprehensive campaigns has enriched our educational programming and our campus environment. As Long Island Lutheran crosses its 60th Anniversary, we move forward on the path to providing the LuHi Experience for all students, extraordinary facilities, curricular offerings for our students through the LuHi Fund and our newest campaign.

Our last annual campaign dinner honoring the 2020 Pro Deo et Schola Award recipient Laura Bauer was held on Friday, January 31, 2020. With a year off during the pandemic, we look forward to gathering as a community again in 2022 to engage the LuHi Family in new goals born out of our recent strategic and master planning processes.

LuHi Meal Packing Event (April)
LuHi has a tradition of service to the local and global communities as an extension of our faith. In fact, one of our value statements exclaims that “we love God, and we love our neighbors as ourselves.” Originally set for our 10th Annual LuHi Meal Packing Event in March of 2020, plans had to be postponed until the time was safe for us to gather in large groups to pack meals for children and families with food insecurity. During our Meal Packing Event, LuHi opens its doors to all churches, youth groups, community organizations, schools and businesses, families or persons who want to participate.

In April 2019, over 1,100 volunteers, including our entire student body, faculty, and staff, packed 273,474 meals. We are happy to say that we have packed 2,781,986 meals since 2011. The meals packed over the years have been sent to Island Harvest, local food pantries helping our neighbors on Long Island, and globally to Tanzania and Haiti for children and families in need.

Our 10th Anniversary Meal Packing Event will be scheduled for completion as soon as it is safe to get groups of people together to do so. If you have questions about our upcoming event, contact mealpacking@luhi.org.

LuHi Open (June)
Long Island's premier golf event, the LuHi Open is among the most enjoyable golf outings in the area. Included in the program is an excellent day of golf and fantastic food at the beautiful Brookville Country Club, Brookville. Festivities conclude with the Rev. Ed Visscher Awards Dinner where friends of the school are honored for support and involvement in activities that enrich the lives of our students. Funds raised from the LuHi Open and Awards Dinner support education programs, as well as scholarships in memory of The Reverend Ed Visscher.

In response to COVID-19 we postponed our 2020 June event and held it in August. Participants enjoyed a beautiful day of golf, reconnected with friends, and generously supported LuHi while honoring Visscher Award honorees Bishop Derek & Amy Lecakes and Rev. Michael & Connie Luciano. Many other donors participated in the virtual portion of the event and appreciated the opportunity to support our school.

The 2021 LuHi Open and Rev. Ed Visscher Award Dinner will be held on June 17. We look forward to celebrating two special LuHi families, Stacie & Jeffery Reid and Adriann & Bill Nelson. Please reach out to Stephanie or call 516-626-1700 ext 580 if you have any questions.
