Window to the World

Pathways to Excellence: Empowering Minds, Shaping the World.

May 10, 2025
Michigan Central Station, Detroit.

Thank you for making a “World” of difference!

While the 2025 Window to the World gala has come to a close (and what a party it was!), the impact it will have on our students’ experiences is just beginning—and will be felt for years to come.

Thanks to your generosity, the gala was a tremendous success. The silent and live auctions raised crucial funds for every aspect of Cranbrook Schools while the paddle raise to support the weight room renovation provided much of the funds needed to undertake the project, moving the dream of the new facility much closer to becoming a reality.  

Saturday evening was a festive and lively celebration of everything that makes Cranbrook special! It was truly uplifting to see so many passionate people—from every corner of our extended community—come together, united by a deep commitment to supporting the extraordinary people, place, and programs that set Cranbrook apart.
