Once a year, FACE (Family Aid-Catholic Education hosts its signature fundraising event, the Annual FACE Gala. This year’s annual Gala will mark the 44th year of FACE. Last year, the Gala raised over $400,000 through our generous attendees and underwriters. Our goal for this year is to raise $600,000. The Annual FACE Gala will include: Dinner and Hosted Bar, Silent Auction (virtual), Live Auction, Named Scholarship Opportunities, Student Speakers, Live Music, and more! It is important to note that all funds raised at this Gala go directly to providing financial aid to deserving students.
