Bagpiper's Ball

With sincere gratitude, Campbell Hall would like to thank the amazing families, faculty, staff, sponsors, and underwriters who generously supported this year’s Bagpiper’s Ball: The Sunset Gala on Saturday, May 2 at the Hollywood Palladium. Thanks to your support, this year’s event and online auction raised more than $1.6 million to support our Financial Aid Program. 

Congratulations to our parent co-chairs Ricci DeMartino (P ’33 & ’31), Dana Garfin (P ’25 & ’27), Dena Johnson (P ’27 & ’31), Rebeka Melake-Dikran (P ’31), and Rachel Pollak (P ’32, ’33 & ’36), and to the entire 2026 Bagpiper’s Ball Committee on an incredible spring gala!

Gathering together at the Hollywood Palladium was a spectacular way to honor seven decades of community, spirit, and tradition. From the stirring sounds of the bagpipes to the high-energy humor of our host, Joel McHale (P ’26), to a packed dance floor energized by a live band from West Coast Music, it was an evening that truly showcased the heart of Campbell Hall. For some guests, the night continued into the early hours at our first-ever after-party!

To our underwriters and sponsors, auction donors and bidders, attendees, and every guest who raised a paddle, thank you. Your support ensures that a Campbell Hall education remains accessible to talented students regardless of financial means and advances our mission of nurturing decent, loving, and responsible human beings.

All proceeds benefit Campbell Hall's Financial Aid Programs.
