Description

It is a great night for the Saint James community to come out, have fun & support the school. The night starts with a cocktail hour and Silent Auction in Heller Hall, followed by the Gala in the school gym. The Gala includes a plated dinner, drinks, live auction, fund-a-cause donation, and dancing. There is an option to keep the party going by joining the Bad to the Bone Bourbon & Cigar tent with an additional ticket.

All proceeds from the Annual Gala & Auction go back to the school and are used toward education and enrichment resources for the students and teachers. Your generosity also helps support technology improvements, equipment, and instructional materials to enhance the religious and academic curriculum. Two years ago, the PTO purchased the active boards used in the classrooms with the funds raised from the Gala. The funds raised from the Gala last year are being used for a complete modernization of Rocket Field (behind the church) to provide our students with a multi-use grass field for a variety of sports and activities.
