Celebrating our 25th Year


Bridges’ biggest fundraiser of the year, the 2024 Gala Auction, is set for Saturday, April 13th, 2024. We will be “Celebrating 25 Years of Learning,” with the hope that all Bridges families and alumni will join us for the typically sold-out gala at Castaway, in Northwest Portland. The theme of this year’s event will be PROM, and is sure to be an evening of fun and inspiration that benefits our children and the community beyond.

It’s time for us to take back prom and celebrate 25 whole years of Bridges Middle School.

Everyone deserves a fun prom experience, and this year’s annual gala is your chance to reclaim it (or relive it!). Grab your prom date—your spouse, your friends, your neighbors or whoever you want to party with—dust off your favorite prom attire and join us for prom punch, prom photos, dinner and dancing.

Buy your tickets here!

Help us celebrate students, teachers, staff and all of the people who have been a part of Bridges over the years. We’ll hear from folks who were part of our beginnings and from those who are leading us into the future, along with plenty of ways to invest in Bridges, through our student art silent auction, live auction, raffle and fun games.

We want to create a prom experience that’s especially for you!  What does an inclusive prom look like for you? Please share your thoughts here so we can make this an inclusive and enjoyable event for all.
