Menlo’s 2025 Auction, Mighty Menlo: Super Knights, was an epic evening celebrating the generosity, spirit, and joy of Menlo while raising funds for Menlo’s financial aid program.

Superheroes of all kinds gathered in the Athletic Center, which had been transformed into Super Knight Headquarters for the evening. Guests mingled over cocktails and appetizers, before our talented student dancers took the stage with a spirited routine choreographed by Menlo’s dynamic duo of dance teachers, Angela Curotto-Pierson and Dominique Serapio. We were inspired by Menlo alum Natalia Cordón ’18 as she spoke of the powerful impact of Menlo and financial aid on her life. The live auction showcased the incredible generosity of our community, and the celebration continued on the dance floor late into the night.

This lively, community-centered evening, paired with a weeklong online auction, raised more than $1.6 million, every dollar of which directly benefits financial aid at Menlo. Many thanks to all who helped bring the vibrant spirit of “Mighty Menlo” to life, in an effort to allow more students to experience the exceptional opportunities at our superhero school.
