Event Description:

The St. Denis-St. Columba School Gala is an elegant dinner party that celebrates the legacy of Catholic education and raises funds for St. Denis-St. Columba School located in New York’s mid-Hudson Valley. Guests will be able to bid on approximately 150 grand gift baskets at a silent auction and bid on exclusive gifts offered during a live auction. In addition, the event features splendid raffle items and “Prize Pulls.” The Gala will use an on-line mobile bidding platform so that guests, alumni and patrons from anywhere in the world will be able to participate in bidding on the night of the event and in the weeks leading up to it.

Fundraising Purposes:

Funds raised at the Gala support St. Denis-St. Columba School’s Academic Intervention Program and Resource Center. This program provides educational resources, including sensory-based reading instruction and differentiated learning strategies that will enhance student learning and enable them to reach their fullest potential.

Donor/Sponsor Recognition and Advertising Reach:

Donors and Sponsors will be extensively advertised on the event website, the mobile bidding platform, Facebook, the St. Denis - St. Columba School website and in all event publicity. During the evening of the event, every donor will be recognized in the event program and each will be displayed alongside the auction items. Sponsorship opportunities also exist for display of business signage and logos during the event.
