CHIME Institute's 2024 Gala

Registration has ended

ABOUT THE GALA

We are excited to share that CHIME Institute will hold its first indoor social event since February 2020! On October 5, we will gather at Woodland Hills Country Club for an evening of fun, dancing, and most importantly, to celebrate and recognize the contributions of the hard-working members of the CHIME community, united in our mission of high-quality inclusive education for all. 

This year’s Homecoming theme is not only a fun throwback to our own high school days, but a true homecoming for our community. Bring a date, friend, or make a few new ones while you’re there. We know you'll have fun if you’re solo, with a partner or just hoping to bump into a few familiar faces.

What does a "Homecoming" theme mean? Have you ever watched a movie or TV show with an awesome school dance? If yes, that’s the inspiration for this event! We'll have a DJ, photobooth, live entertainment, fun games, raffles, collaborative art project, guest Mission Moment speakers, silent auction and we'll honor a CHIME ‘Homecoming Court’!

What's the dress code? This is a party and it’s your party! It’s a chance to dress up and have some good fun for a great cause - CHIME! Pull out your little black dress, long red dress, big sparkly dress, snazziest pantsuit, favorite retro jumper, blazer, three piece suit or tux with tails! As long as you’re feeling good in what you’re wearing you’ll have a great time!

 

Please note this is an adults only, 21 and over, event. If you need childcare, scroll down to learn about "Kid's Night Out" childcare for current CHIME students.

ABOUT CHIME INSTITUTE

Established in 1990, CHIME Institute is a national leader in the development and delivery of quality inclusive education, allowing children who develop typically, children with disabilities and children who are gifted, to learn side by side. 


Our early education program and TK-8 independent charter school serves over 800 children from birth to eight grade and their families. In a partnership with the College of Education at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) our professional development program demonstrates our unique educational model, inspiring educators from around the world.

Our work is grounded in over 30 years of research and the belief that when we set an expectation for all children to reach their full potential, we are honoring our promise to families and to society. The science of inclusive education not only creates better opportunities for children to grow in all developmental areas, but also fosters a culture of greater compassion and empathy.
