Live auction following dinner

We will have a DJ following the live auction. Stay and enjoy music and fellowship.

 

Many hours of planning and hard work have gone into this event, which plays a major role in the financial operations of Sacred Heart School.  Income generated is crucial to carrying out our school’s mission.  This lively and fun event is an opportunity for families and friends of Sacred Heart School to celebrate the presence, vitality and tradition of Catholic education in our community.

 

The gala begins with a social hour when guests can enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres while browsing the silent and live auction items. The unique and useful items provide a holiday shopping extravaganza!  The seated, catered dinner offers a choice of Prime Rib or Chicken Monterey along with parsley red potatoes, green beans almandine, fall tossed salad, fresh dinner roll, dinner wine, assorted beverages and desserts.  The caterer will accommodate food allergies.

 

Please consider supporting the 100th year anniversary celebration with a sponsorship. We also welcome and will recognize donations from prior alumni classes during the event.  Silent auction items are appreciated as well.  If you have an item or service to donate, please contact the school office @ 319-465-4605. All donors will be recognized on an event poster, auction booklet, church bulletin, weekly school newsletters, social media and local newspapers.
