About the Event

PBA's Lighting Our Way banquet recognizes inspirational individuals and organizations exemplifying leadership principles and values of the school such as selfless service to others, gratitude, and compassion. 

PBA seniors learn from our inspirational leaders by interviewing and writing brief biographies of them for the Lighting Our Way printed program. Students of all grade levels honor these leaders by presenting honorees with gifts at the event: a taiko performance, song, dance, or work of art. In this way, the banquet is integrated into the curriculum and highlights the school's collaborative learning opportunities. Participating in the banquet program develops students' critical thinking skills and their appreciation for the inspirational leaders they are privileged to meet. Interviewing honorees gives PBA seniors opportunities to imagine pathways to achievement and peace practice across many professional fields.

Each year, more than 300 guests attend the banquet. Support through ticket sales, sponsorships, and silent auction donations go towards advancing PBA's unique peace-based student programs. We hope you can join us in honoring the community leaders that light our way.

Self-parking: $10 up to 8 hours or $12 up to 10 hours with banquet validation (one-time exit only)
