Saddle up for an unforgettable night of community, celebration, and impact at Giddy Up, GIS!—the German International School’s annual fundraising gala. Inspired by Oregon’s iconic rodeo traditions, this lively evening brings our community together to support the students and programs that help GIS thrive.

Enjoy great food, music, and plenty of opportunities to give back, including a silent auction, live auction, and paddle raise—all benefiting the GIS Annual Fund and Tuition Assistance program.

What’s in store:

  • Happy Hour & Silent Auction — snacks, sips, and time to connect

  • Dinner & Giving — a buffet dinner followed by our live auction and paddle raise

  • Boot-Scootin’ Fun — carnival-style games, bull-riding, dancing, music, & more!

Every ticket purchased, bid placed, and game played helps fund educational programs and tuition assistance that keep GIS accessible to families across cultures, languages, and income levels.

Dust off your boots, grab your friends, and kick up your heels for our students—this is one celebration you won’t want to miss.
