Bulldog Bash

The Sky Was the Limit at the Bulldog Bash 2025

The 2025 Bulldog Bash was a night to remember! Preeti Fibiger P’24, our Interim Head of School, and our Incoming Head of School, Dr. James Calleroz White, opened the evening with heartfelt remarks, sharing their gratitude and excitement for the future of D-E. Guests were treated to an unforgettable performance by Malachi Nassér ’22, who brought the house down with his original music.

Co-Chairs Katya Gersten P’28 and Lisa Lazarus P’28, along with a dedicated committee, helped create an atmosphere full of energy, community spirit, and celebration.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised an incredible $450,000 towards financial aid. The night was filled with joy, connection, and fun—and everyone had a blast! As a sweet send-off, guests were treated to goodies from the Candy Zoo Truck, generously donated by Jennifer Rich P’20,’22.

We can’t wait to do it again next year! See you on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at Montammy Country Club.
