Off to the races
More than just an evening out, Bid Night 2026 marks the start of a new chapter at Master’s. This year’s celebration promises an elevated evening with hats tipped, glasses raised, and a future worth betting on.
During the evening we’ll be sharing a vision that looks beyond the present, a bridge from the future that reflects our commitment to innovation, curiosity, and preparing students for what’s ahead.
Elevated appetizers and signature cocktails
Interactive activations and genuine surprises
Silent auction with exceptional items

Betting on the future
Our world is changing rapidly. At Master’s, our mission isn’t only to facilitate learning for today, but also to foresee, plan, and prototype learning environments that prepare our students for the world of tomorrow. Funds raised through Bid Night will support a bold new initiative: the creation of a new prototype learning environment set directly on the Master’s campus. This environment, called I.D. Space, will consist of four interconnected prototype learning spaces: a central hub for collaborative innovation, a learning commons, and two specialized labs, a fabrication lab and a media production lab. Together, they will form a creative ecosystem of technology, connection, creation, expression, and reflection . I.D. Space is the Bridge from the Future, for it will show us how to continue expanding on our vision. Not for the past, but for tomorrow. I.D. Space will be supported by Master’s designed and AI-embedded Genius Platform, which will ensure our pedagogy evolves alongside the rapidly changing educational landscape. I.D. Space will be built adjacent to the existing Master’s campus as soon as funds allow. Our fundraising goal for Bid Night is to raise $50,000 towards the build of this exciting project. In order to make this space a reality, we will need to solicit donations outside of Bid Night as well. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Jeff Graham should you be interested in getting involved.


"Master’s is a place where curiosity is protected, confidence is nurtured, and innovation is embraced. Every child is known, challenged, and championed."
