A community group advocating for community education will hold a Gatsby-themed fundraiser later this year.
The Petaluma Educational Foundation will hold its annual Celebration of Schools on Sept. 7 at the Clover Stornetta Farms Redwood Pavilion (5400 Old Redwood Highway). The group has heralded the event “The Great Bashby.”
The event, which is expected to attract about 500 guests, will feature dining and live entertainment.

All proceeds from the event benefit the Fund of the Future's PEF Impact Grant, which has awarded more than $2,300,000 to Petaluma academic programs since 1983.
The PEF serves more than 13,000 students in Petaluma's 37 area K-12 schools.
Admission to the event is $175, which includes cocktails and dining. Tickets can be purchased by calling the PEF at (707) 778-5063 or by visiting their website.
An online community auction will be held from Aug. 15-31 in support of the PEF.
