An Evening of Song and Community with Steven Curtis Chapman

Each year, our teachers and assistant teachers pour themselves into the lives of our students with extraordinary love, skill, and faithfulness. In response, we are opening a number of $1,500 Teacher Honor Seats for those who wish to bless a faculty member with an unforgettable evening at Southall. Let these become the most generously sponsored seats of the night. What a beautiful way to bless a teacher or assistant teacher at the end of the year or simply express your gratitude for their impact.

Parents and donors may coordinate to pool funds together and make one total $1,500 donation to sponsor a specific teacher, or they may give individual custom amounts here that collectively reach the full $1500 value. Donors can direct their giving to the teacher of their choice. We will notify the donors when that teacher’s seat has been fully sponsored. Once you input your donation amount, prompts will take you to a section where you indicate which specific teacher your donation is sponsoring. If those teachers have already received a fully sponsored seat, our leadership team will joyfully select another worthy teacher recipient on your behalf.

Thank you for your donation to the scholarship fund! These funds will be directly used to support scholarships for the 26/27 academic school year.

Please note: this is not the correct place to give if you wish to sponsor a teacher’s seat. Instead, please select the giving option titled ‘Teacher Honor Seat.’

There are a limited number of single‑seat reservations at $1,500. These individual seats, placed at beautifully set shared tables, allow guests to enjoy an unforgettable evening of exceptional food and warm fellowship while celebrating the music and ministry of renowned artist Steven Curtis Chapman.

Please note: while a single seat represents a significant contribution to the scholarship fund and is a tremendous blessing to scholarship families, a pair of seats still represents a full $3,000 scholarship, and only the $3,000 Scholars Bundle includes the opportunity to name a scholarship.

The Scholars Bundle (seating for two adults) will be placed at shared tables that seat a total of ten guests. The Scholars Bundle is intentionally designed because every pair of seats funds the average $3,000 scholarship awarded at Franklin Classical School. Each Scholars Bundle directly makes one of these awards possible.

Our staff will thoughtfully select the student recipients of all scholarships, and both the donor and the student will remain anonymous. As part of this meaningful opportunity, each Scholars Bundle duo will have the privilege of naming their scholarship—for example, The C.S. Lewis Scholarship for Truth—and writing a brief prayer or word of encouragement. Our team will ensure that the student receives this blessing as they enter the 2026–2027 academic year.

Please note that Scholars Bundles are seated together as a pair at shared tables. While we will ensure the two of you are placed side‑by‑side, all other seating preferences cannot be guaranteed. The meal will be served family style, with beautifully plated dishes set out for the table—fostering a warm, communal setting where guests can savor each course and build new connections.

Our Front Row Scholars Bundle offers premier seating for two just steps from the stage, where you and your guest will be seated side by side and placed with other attendees at a beautifully set table of ten for a shared, family‑style meal. Because each seat represents the $3,000 average scholarship award, each of you will have the opportunity to name a scholarship and write a prayer or word of blessing that will be anonymously shared with the student who receives it. With seats positioned closest to Steven Curtis Chapman—one of the most celebrated artists in Christian music—you’ll experience an unforgettable evening while directly impacting a child’s life through Christ‑centered education. You’ll be part of a table of ten, enjoying the evening together, sharing a communal meal, and making new friends along the way.

For a limited time, we are reserving this option for a full table sponsorship (seating for 10) on the front row before opening this table to individual seats to the broader community.

There is purpose behind every chair: the $30,000 represented here reflects ten students receiving the average scholarship at Franklin Classical School. Premium Table sponsors also have the privilege of naming ten individual scholarships—such as “The C.S. Lewis Scholarship for Courage” or “In memory of…”—and anonymously writing a prayer or words of encouragement for each student recipient for the 2026–2027 academic year. Every seat at this distinguished table symbolizes a child whose access to a Christ‑centered education is being made possible.

Your table will receive exceptional placement near the stage, along with the option of Title Sponsor recognition through our event marketing and Franklin Classical School’s social media platforms, should you wish to be acknowledged. From this beautifully positioned setting, you and your guests will enjoy the best view of an intimate performance by Steven Curtis Chapman, accompanied by a family‑style meal with beautifully plated dishes to share.

We are offering full table sponsorships (seating for 10) in the second row of seating near the stage before releasing individual seats to the broader community.

Becoming a Table Sponsor (seating for ten) offers a meaningful opportunity to support Franklin Classical School while hosting the ten adult guests of your choosing for an unforgettable evening. Your table for ten will be beautifully reserved exclusively for your group and placed just behind the front row of tables near the stage—an ideal vantage point for experiencing an intimate performance by celebrated Christian artist Steven Curtis Chapman. Your $20,000 sponsorship represents a little more than six full scholarships and together, your table has the privilege of naming these scholarships and writing a prayer or blessing over the students who will anonymously receive them for the 2026–2027 academic year. The meal will be enjoyed family style, with beautifully plated dishes for the table to share.
