In keeping with the NYC skyline theme, the sky was the limit at the Bulldog Bash 2025, D-E’s premier event in support of financial aid! The event, held in Manhattan on Saturday, April 26, 2025, was an incredible success, with guests’ enthusiastic participation in live and silent auctions that helped raise significant funds for families in our D-E community and allow the school to further invest in vital programs, technology, and professional development. Even the rain showers that greeted guests upon arrival didn’t dampen the festive mood.
Attendees watched a heartwarming video featuring Viviana Torres ’17, who spoke on the impact that a D-E education had on her and the degree to which financial aid support changed the trajectory of her life. Another D-E alum, the multi-talented Malachi Nassér ’22 and his band delivered a special performance and previewed songs from his upcoming debut album.
Throughout the evening, the DJ played crowd favorites that kept guests on the dance floor. And as the event concluded, The Candy Zoo Truck treated guests to their choice of classic and novelty candies. We’re so grateful to our D-E community for coming together on this important night to “Make it Better” and help us reach new heights!

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, presented by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, is the nation’s longest-running recognition program for creative students in grades 7-12, ages 13 and older. “Scholastic is an institution that has supported students’ artistic expression in writing and visual arts nationally,” says Ms. Marisol Diaz, Chair of the Art & Design Department. “It can open up other opportunities, such as residencies and scholarships.” You also become part of a community of Scholastic winners, adds Ms. Diaz. This year, D-E’s national award winners were Sydney Adekanbi ’25 and Blake Glasser ’27.
