ROAR 2022 was an out-of-this-world experience! The evening was magical with a life force of its own – it was wonderful to gather again as a community. The online auction was robust with something interesting for everyone. Together, we raised over $600,000!

ROAR stands for "raising our allocation resources." It is an annual celebration of the Lakeside community and the primary fundraiser of the Parents and Guardians Association. Event proceeds support a variety of areas including classroom enrichment, faculty and staff development, and financial aid. ROAR builds connections within our community while raising funds that support all Lakeside students, faculty, and staff.

We extend a special thank you to our guests, online auction bidders, sponsors, donors, student and adult volunteers, and the Lakeside Bellas and Fellas, who helped make ROAR 2022 possible. We would like to acknowledge a few key Lakeside parents and guardians for their talent, time, and dedication, and enduring long hours to serve as team leaders:
