Dominican Academy held its 2026 Spring Auction & Benefit on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at the iconic 230 Fifth Ave. Rooftop, one of NYC’s most renowned event venues. It was an unforgettable evening, bringing together our alumnae, parents, D.A. faculty and staff, and benefactors who make our community such an extraordinary place.
This year, we were thrilled to honor Erica Sharkey Allegretta and Meredith Hill Chartier, both members of the Class of 1999, who spoke about the incredible sisterhood their class still shares. Erica and Meredith beautifully embody D.A.’s Four Pillars. Through their careers and lives, they reflect a deep commitment to service, leadership, and the mission of Dominican Academy.
Our auction was led by Paul Florez-Taylor, who rallied attendees to bid on luxurious vacations, golf outings, and exclusive events at D.A.’s rooftop. We were also joined by an exuberant group of current student ambassadors who came up with their own cheer to rally attendees and showcase their incredible enthusiasm for D.A. We will miss our graduating seniors who have joined us year after year at the Benefit.
We are delighted to share that, thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our community, we exceeded all expectations and raised more than $300,000 in support of our students. We are deeply grateful for the unwavering support of our alumnae, families, faculty, staff, and friends, and we look forward to celebrating together again next year!
