PRINCETON, NJ – The Princeton Nursery School will be bringing back its annual gala this year. The 4th annual Starry Starry Evening gala will be held at The Bedens Brook Country Club on Saturday, April 2, 7 p.m.
Each year, the gala brings the community together to raise the funds needed to keep the school’s doors open. Many students at Princeton Nursery School rely on scholarships to attend and donations from the annual gala cover a significant portion of these scholarships, the school said.
This year’s event will be co-chaired by Alfred (Rik) F. Dugan III and his wife, Joanna Dugan.
