Chemin de Fer is heading down the tracks to its final destination — Germany on Saturday, May 3. This year Chairs Nathan and Lindsay White, along with Co-Chairs Jerry and Emily Perez are excited to bring the Academy community together for a night full of Bavarian cheer, camaraderie, and generosity. Both couples have spent countless hours over the years working behind the scenes on the auction. “The Academy has been a blessing to our families and we’re thankful for this incredible opportunity to support our beloved school.”

Below Nathan and Lindsay share their thoughts on Chemin 2025:

Lindsay and I are inspired by those we’ve been blessed to work with for several years. Witnessing the passion, dedication, and love of the Academy from these families has been contagious and has fueled our desire to immerse ourselves in the ASH community. By doing so our time here has truly been a family experience.

When you work alongside families like the Boerdings and Parvis’, families who have been working on Chemin for almost 20 years, you can’t help but start to see things differently, and to think outside the box. We’ve seen a carpet roll turned into a palm tree; a metal coffee can transformed into a lantern, and the list goes on.

Supporting the Academy is a priority, because we want all the students to cherish their time here, and have experiences and opportunities they may not otherwise have. Their love for their school will hopefully inspire them to remain involved with the Academy long after they graduate. Lindsay and I could not be more thankful for how the Academy has enriched our lives, and if we can give back, we’re happy to do so.

Join us in Germany for Chemin de Fer 2025!
