The dual purpose of the Ball is to preserve the beautiful tradition of presenting a young lady in such a formal way, as she enters socially into society and, of course, to help our Piarist Schools.

Our 61st annual Piarist ball was once again held at the magnificent University club in New York City.

The fabulous Laura Angyal Jazz quartet Performed during our elegant cocktail hour. Guests were ushered into the main ballroom to the sounds of the renowned Lester Lannin Orchestra. The University club’s Master Chef’s Culinary creations graced our dinner plates. At 9 PM the orchestra took the stage and the ceremonious introduction of our beautiful debutantes opened the ball. Later, Special guest violinist Bernadett Nyári Dazzled the guests with an Electrifying virtuoso show. The uninterrupted ballroom music continued until 1 AM.

DONATE

“The dual purpose of the Ball is to preserve a beautiful tradition of formally presenting a young lady into society and, of course, to support the Piarist Schools.
These superb schools continue to provide excellent quality education, free of charge to poor and deserving children.

DONATION OPPORTUNITIES

Considering the dual purpose of the ball, we ask you to be as generous as you possibly can, to help finance the wonderful educational work provided by the Piarist Schools.

In Budapest the order was able to reclaim the buildings they had before nationalization by the communist regime. Since their return, extensive and expensive renovations and upgrades were necessary.

As the Piarists are known to provide their students’ education free of charge, funds are always needed to carry on this noble mission.

There are various opportunities to contribute at different donor levels. Please consider these possibilities and donate at a level that is comfortable for you.

All donors’ names will be listed in the Ball Program, unless otherwise requested.

In the name of the Piarist Schools, we thank you in advance for your generous support!
