Everything You Need to Know about Gala 2019

Your 2019 Gala Committee is hard at work planning the most mind-blowing James Bond-Inspired Gala ever created! Please save the date for License to Thrill, taking place Saturday, February 23, 2019, at 6:00 p.m.
 
As you know, the Gala isn’t just a wonderfully fun way to strengthen our community, it’s a vital part of St. Michael’s yearly fundraising efforts. Proceeds are used to aid with general operating expenses and financial aid,  as well as to help fund necessary upgrades in technology, infrastructure, etc.  We have an ambitious goal of raising $350,000, and it will take everyone’s help to get us there!
Participation Opportunities Include:
    • Table Sponsorships! Enjoy all the perks from a Hotel Van Zandt room for the night of the Gala for the Hosts to Valet Parking to Champagne at your table and more! From “A Diamond is Forever” at $10,000 to “Goldeneye” at $2,500, to “From Russia With Love” a faculty/staff Sponsored Table for $1, 750, there are Table Levels for everyone. Click here to see all the possibilities!
    • Underwriting! Everybody loves an underwriter, and you’ll feel the love all night with Prominent Signage, a listing in the Program, and Video Signage. Would you like to be our “Shaken Not Stirred” Exclusive Libations Underwriter? Or our “Nobody Does it Better” Entertainment Sponsor? There’s even an opportunity to sponsor the Austin Power’s After Party—“Oh, Behave!” See all the available listings by clicking here, and remember—underwriting donations are 100% tax deductible!
