Who can come to the Blue & Gold Gala?

Anyone who wants to enjoy a night out with our St. Michael Parish School Community - this is a great opportunity to meet other school parents, teachers, parish leaders + parish members. Feel free to invite friends, family, parishioners. Please note that this is an ADULTS ONLY evening.

Where is it held? What time do I need to be there?

The gala is held at the Abbington in Glen Ellyn. Doors open at 6:00pm - come early, as seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Sit with people you know or meet some new friends -- if you would like to have a reserved table of 10, you can take a look at our sponsorship opportunities. 

Open bar, appetizers & four-course dinner is included with your admission ticket. Dinner will be served at 7:30pm.

What do I need to bring? How do I pay? Do I need cash or a checkbook?

Just bring yourself! We will encourage you at check-in to put a credit card on your account/bidder number so that you don't have to wait for checkout at the end of the night. You will be e-mailed a receipt once your card is charged. 

Raffle tickets, silent auction items, etc. are all paid for with the use of your bidder number. 

What should I wear?

This is one of the most common questions we receive and all we can say is anything goes! Jeans, button down shirts, sweaters, skirts, dresses or gowns! There is always a little bit of everything at our event. We will say that most people use it as a night to get dressed up! Wear something you feel comfortable and confident in! 

 
Where does the money raised go? 

Right back into the school!  The Blue & Gold Gala is part of the annual budget which assists in covering the gap between tuition, parish subsidy and expenses. Our goal is to continue to advance our school and continue to increase teacher salaries.
