Each fall, KEF hosts an annual Garden Party to raise funds for KEF programs. The Garden Party originally took place at Blake Gardens (thus the name) and has since become the school’s biggest party of the year and KEF’s largest fundraiser aside from the Fall Pledge Drive. This catered event is held off site and is an elegant, adults-only evening with live music, raffle prizes, a silent auction and a live “raise the paddle” auction to cap off an evening of socializing, all in the name of supporting Kensington Hilltop students.
