Charles Wright Academy hosted its 27th Annual Auction on March 8 where over 475 guests bid on items ranging from a night at the 2014 Emmys to a ticket for a day of “magic” with the creators of the Magic: The Gathering card game, one of whom is a Charles Wright Academy alumnus. The event raised close to $400,000 to support, in part, the construction of new, state-of-the-art science labs and a dedicated research lab.
