Crestwell's Derby Royale gala supports STEM, the arts, and campus improvements
Crestwell School's annual spring gala, Derby Royale, took place on Saturday, April 11, 2026 at Plantation Golf and Country Club in Fort Myers: a Kentucky Derby-themed evening with dinner, live music, and an auction. Proceeds support campus improvements and the school's STEM and arts programs.
Events like the gala are how a campus community funds the things that make a school its own: the lab equipment, the instruments, the playground. At Crestwell the community shows up for them every year.
