The Golden Age
of Gulliver:
Est. 1926

Celebrating 100 Years of Excellence and Powering our Future

On Saturday, March 14, 2026, the Gulliver community came together to celebrate a century of impact, legacy, and excellence at our 2026 Gala, The Golden Age of Gulliver: Est. 1926. With extraordinary generosity, record attendance, a major campaign announcement, and incredible energy throughout the evening, it was truly a night for the history books! In total, supporters and friends raised more than $1.2 million for Gulliver.

We are grateful to our presenting sponsor, the Woolworth Family, and all of our generous sponsors, whose support amplified the impact of this historic event. Special thanks also goes to Gala Chairs Gina Beekman ‘00 P ‘31 and Maite Garrido Thornton P ‘25 ‘26 ‘29, who along with our dedicated Gala Committee, ensured every detail of the evening was executed flawlessly. 

Gulliver parent and award-winning Univision journalist Pamela Silva P ‘38 guided the evening’s program. Highlights of the evening included a video that captured the school’s legacy, unforgettable auction experiences and a live showcase from Student Masters of Ceremony Nicolas Grineberg ‘26 and Ella Rodriguez ‘26 from the Centennial Class of 2026, who brought the celebration to life.

Thanks to the collective generosity of our community, we are building powerful momentum for Gulliver’s next chapter and The Next 100: The Centennial Campaign for Gulliver. Together, we are helping propel our next century of innovation, inspired teaching and learning, and the distinctly Gulliver experience that empowers students to achieve and grow into who they want to be.
