This year, the event entitled “The Blue & Gold Gala ” will be held on February 3rd, 2024 at Drury Lane in Oakbrook, Illinois. Our event is expected to draw around 300 supporters. This fundraising event is critical to preserving and providing the resources necessary to maintain, enrich, and strengthen the academic experience for our children. Each week at Visitation Parish, over 1,000 children from Preschool through 8th grade are provided with a Catholic education through its Catholic Day School and its Parish Religious Education programs. Each year the proceeds from the Gala help off-set major, fixed costs such as renovation costs for the school building, needed educational supplies, and the salaries of Visitation’s amazing teachers and staff. All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible. Donors will also be featured in our Gala booklet and in advertising in advance of the event.
