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 hundreds of 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 2020 Bid-for-Kids Auction was held as two separate virtual events, one on November 14, 2020 with part two following on May 15, 2021, both under the theme Garden Party. While everything was virtual due to the pandemic, we were thankful for the support from donors, sponsors, and engaged bidders! Great items were scored by those who joined in the spirited bidding.

Save the date and join us as we return to a live event for Bid-for-Kids XXXVII on a new night - Friday, November 12, 2021 - and, for the first time in history, as we take our event off site to the Crest Hollow Club in Woodbury. Please reach out to Jane or call 516-626-1700 x 549 if you have any questions.

Campaign Dinner
A long tradition of multi-year, comprehensive campaigns has enriched our educational programming and campus environment over decades. New leadership in Head of School John Buck has again brought vision to our school and its future. A recent year-long strategic planning process has set forth a 5-year plan focusing on four important goals for our successful future. Dovetailed with that process, a long-range campus master plan was recently completed with plans that will transform our educational space on the 32-acre campus, making the most of the facility and beautiful outdoor space. In line with our strategic and campus master plans, we will focus on engaging education and inspired spaces to create a learning environment for students that will be second to none.

These plans will be shared in detail early in 2022 when we gather for our annual campaign dinner with new goals born of the recent planning processes and as we honor our 2022 Pro Deo et Schola Award recipient (to be announced.)

Due to the cancellation of last year’s campaign dinner, we offer congratulations to our 2021 recipients Karen and Bryan Hallock who will be honored at our Bid-for-Kids Dinner Auction on Friday, November 12 at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury. Join us!

LuHi Meal Packing Event
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.”

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.

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. We are happy to report that our 10th Anniversary Meal Packing Event is scheduled for October 17-19, 2021. If you have questions about our upcoming event or would like to become involved, contact mealpacking@luhi.org.

LuHi Open
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.

The 2021 LuHi Open and Rev. Ed Visscher Award Dinner was held on June 17. A full field of golfers and beautiful early summer weather were highlights of the day, while the evening celebrated two special LuHi families, Stacie & Jeffery Reid and Adriann & Bill Nelson.

Our 2022 LuHi Open will be held on Thursday, June 16 at the Brookville Country Club. Join us for amazing golf, fun, and fellowship as we enjoy a great day together and honor the Rev.
