What is the Bird Bash?

The Bird Bash gala is an annual fundraiser supporting the Seven Dreams Education Foundation to benefit learners of the Robbinsdale Area Schools. Put on your party attire and enjoy games, music, live music, passed hors d'oeuvres, drinks, program, dinner, live and silent auction.  Hundreds of community members come together to celebrate and fund innovative learning experiences for the learners of Rdale!  

From 2014-2025, we raised over $675,000 from the proceeds of the Bird Bash for initiatives in our school district—read about them below and here!

What Does the Bird Bash Fund?

Special Appeal

At the Bird Bash, after a live auction (for big ticket items like concerts, trips and fun experiences), the evening culminates in an important “giving moment” where we ask our generous supporters to pledge a specific amount of money for a district-wide initiative by raising bid cards. We show a video describing the initiative and then the fun begins. A professional auctioneer livens up the crowd and people start raising their bid numbers to make their donation.            

To learn about past Bird Bash initiatives that Seven Dreams has funded, scroll down to the bottom and click on the year to see a description and video about the project.                         

Check out all of the district-wide initiatives that we have funded through Bird Bash proceeds since 2014:
