Join us For our Annual Gala & Auction

The Janus School Raising Spirits Gala & Auction is our largest and most critical fundraising event. The gala takes place at our campus in Mount Joy and includes an evening of cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, dinner and a live auction. Dress is semi-formal and guests often choose to reflect the theme of the event in their attire.

Since the inception of Raising Spirits in 2002, this event has raised over $1M for educational programming and financial aid that benefits families for whom tuition is a financial burden. Janus is the only independent school in Central Pennsylvania dedicated to helping students with language- or math-based learning disability, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), executive function difficulties (EFD), nonverbal learning disorder, or auditory processing disorder.

 

Thank you to all of our 2025 Raising Spirits donors, sponsors, and guests. We exceeded our fundraising goal!

2025 Honoree - Larry Keating

Larry was a true champion of Janus. His joy, wit, wisdom, and humility are sorely missed by all who knew him. His greatest gifts to Janus were his ceaseless positivity and unending spirit of servant-minded leadership. Larry’s involvement with Janus started when his children attended the school in the early 2000s and ended in the summer of 2024 when he resigned from the board to focus on his health.

We lost Larry in September 2024. In April 2025, Larry was honored at Raising Spirits for his 25 years of service to Janus as we thanked his wife and children for sharing him with us.
