Karrie Meyers – Highlands Ranch, Colorado … More than 150 supporters for Mile High Academy (MHA) in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, gathered for the school’s annual auction, Eat, Mingle & Give, held April 6 at Topgolf Centennial. The event featured a lively atmosphere, meaningful conversation, and the opportunity to bid on a wide range of auction items—all in support of Christian education.
This year’s event raised over $85,000, with proceeds directly benefiting the school’s financial aid program, which supports more than 40% of current students.
Doug Inglish, vice president for Administration for the Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC) of Seventh-day Adventists, attended the event and shared his appreciation: “I always enjoy the MHA event. Hanging out with staff and supporters is a great way to spend a Sunday morning. The support from the community at this event shows that they understand you can’t get a better education in the Denver Metro area than is offered at Mile High Academy.”
From popular Mustang SWAG and baked goods to handmade student projects, artwork, classroom experiences, and generous community donations, attendees were eager to show their support. The event’s success reflects the strong community spirit and shared commitment to Mile High Academy’s mission of providing an exceptional, Christ-centered education.
“A special thank you goes out to the dedicated teachers, students, and volunteers, as well as to all who donated and participated in the event,” said Jocelyn Aalborg, MHA’s vice principal of Finance and Development.
She continued, “We are incredibly grateful for the generosity and continued support of our community. Each gift, each bid, and each kind word help us continue growing a school where students thrive academically, spiritually, and socially.”
