The 10th annual Black & White By the Bay Auction will be March 25, 2023 at the Tampa Marriott Water Street. Festivities include an exclusive VIP reception, cocktail hour, silent auction, live program, dinner, dancing and after party.

Since its inception, the By the Bay Gala has raised more than $3.45 million in support of the Annual Fund, which allows the Academy to enhance and sustain programs across campus, including technology, classroom resources, ministry and financial aid.

We are working hard on the 2023 By the Bay Auction event. Please keep an eye out for updates as details continue to be announced.

2023 Event Chairs:

Haley Miller

I’m honored to be one of your auction chairs for the 2023 Black and White By the Bay. I have twin daughters in the 5th grade that have been at AHN since pre-K. This is my 7th year working the auction. Previously I have chaired the Wine Wall, live auction, VIP benefits, and reservations, and helped with most of the other positions.   

I love the entire year-long process that goes into the magical event. This year I am most excited about hosting Black and White By the Bay at a new venue with exciting and creative ideas from our dedicated committee members! I hope to see you all there and that we have one of the best nights raising money for our school! 

Michelle Reeves

I'm excited to be co-chair for the 2023 Black & White By the Bay. We have been at the Academy since moving to Tampa almost five years ago, with the youngest of my four children currently in 8th grade. Growing up in a Catholic family and attending Catholic school from K-12, volunteering and service have always been important to me. This is my 3rd year as co-chair and my 5th year on the committee. I also serve on the Mothers Association board as co-VP for the Middle School.

Being a part of the auction committee has been a fun way to get involved, but more importantly, it has given me lasting friendships and a way to support the school I've grown to love. Building from the tremendous success last year, I hope the combination of old traditions and many new exciting ideas makes everyone want to attend and be a part of this incredible experience!
