The Westmark Derby: 2017 Annual Gala,

Calamigos Equestrian, Burbank, California, United States Calamigos Equestrian, Burbank, California, United States

  • About the event

    The gala is our biggest fundraising event for the school each year. Westmark is not like every other school as we are an indpenedent nonprofit school serving kids in grades 2-12 with language-based learning difficulties and processing issues such as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, ADHD and ADD. Students come to us at a critical juncture in their educational careers, often having fallen through the cracks of the traditional education system because their needs have not been met in a mainstream classroom setting. Giving these children a safe place to come everyday, where they can learn in a way that works for them and feel comfortable and socialize with other children who may have the same difficulties, helps them to understand within themsleves that they are worth it and that they can do anything anyone else can do. The gala is a fun night of cocktails, dinner, silent auction, live auction, entertainment and dancing all to support a great cause....these amazing, brave children. As a sponsor you would not only be helping to continue important programming for these kids, you would also get great exposure as we have families from over 60 different zip codes throughout Los Angeles, some very prominent, to showcase your business, products or services to.

    Since its founding over 30 years ago, Westmark School has been committed to providing a superior academic education and comprehensive curriculum to Grades 2-12 students with dyslexia, language processing issues and other related learning differences. With students ranging from diagnosed dyslexia and AD/HD, to extreme reading, writing, comprehension, mathematical, and organizational difficulties, our students discover how they learn best and become advocates for themselves during their years at Westmark.

    Nurturing inherent abilities provides the students with confidence to work successfully through the Westmark educational experience. They acquire resiliency, learning strategies, organizational and literacy skills, and the ability to self-advocate and work in teams. Westmark’s curriculum and teaching methodologies are research-based and implemented by highly trained and experienced teachers who differentiate instruction according to each student’s learning profile.

    With a commitment to embracing and reflecting the changing needs of students, instruction is enhanced through cutting edge technology. Lessons are presented in multiple modalities, and study skills and organizational strategies are integrated into the daily curriculum.

    Many of these children come to us lost and wondering why they cannot read, write or focus long enough to organize a thought. After a month or two they are reading, writing and figuring out how to organize their work in a way that works for them personally, leading them to feel more comfortable in their own skin, which in turn opens new doors for them both cognitively and socially.
