Join us in celebrating
50 years of God’s faithfulness!
Friday, March 13, 2026
at the Fairview Park Marriott in Falls Church
This elegant evening will include dinner, a silent and live auction, and an inspiring program as we look back at God’s faithfulness and look forward with expectation to all that he will continue to do in and through ICS!
Our 50th Golden Gala will be a powerful opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of our students when a community of current and former ICS parents and family members, alumni (former high school and eighth grade graduates), current and former faculty and staff members, and friends of ICS gather in celebration. This black-tie (optional) event for adults will feature special music from two of the founding members of Casting Crowns, delicious food with beverages available for purchase, time to reconnect with old friends, a silent (online bidding available for guests unable to attend) and live auction featuring unique experiences and vacation homes.
Proceeds from the gala will directly benefit the Warrior Giving Fund. Funds raised through attendance, sponsorships, and our auction will benefit the Warrior Giving Fund which directly supports our initiatives impacting educational innovation, athletics development and spiritual enrichment in the following ways:
- Continuing to invest in programs and places that ignite student purpose, curiosity, spiritual, and personal growth by focusing on a Transformational Student Experience.
- Committing to empowering our people with resources, training, and support as they help shape holistic student development of the head, heart, and hands, through Elevating Educators.
- Building sustainable systems and capacity to ensure long-term impact through Building the Foundation for Tomorrow.
At the close of the auction, guests will have the option to participate in a paddle raise supporting Tuition Assistance that will help provide sustainability and affordability for ICS families for years to come.
