At the Royal Bash on March 2 we celebrated with more than 350 Hopkins community members at the recently renovated Metropolitan Ballroom in Golden Valley. The Royal Bash featured a delicious, seated dinner (from D’Amico Catering), a presentation, a $1,000 cash raffle, live and silent auctions, and so much more. Surprises included a visit from Carlson’s Loveable Llamas (a live auction item), a cocktail dress and lighted poi dancers.

At Royal Bash, we raised funds for our grants as well as for a district-wide project called Fueling Future Minds, focused on computer science, coding and artificial intelligence (AI). This initiative, which will benefit all Hopkins students, includes partnerships with local technology companies to enhance Hopkins students’ skills so they can solve problems and do community-based research to prepare them to answer society’s big questions. 

Thank you to all our Royal Bash sponsors, who helped make the event a success! Scroll down to see them all.

This is a unique opportunity for parents and staff from all of our schools, along with alumni, local officials, business owners and other community members to enjoy a fun night for a cause. We will be raising money to prepare our students for a whole new world with our special project ‘Fueling Future Minds.’ Our students will need to have a strong foundation in data science and technology that is increasingly part of every career. They also need to understand how to analyze data to be well-informed citizens. With our special project, Hopkins Public Schools can provide the resources and staff to make that happen. Join us and make a difference!
