Academy of Saint Elizabeth

WELCOME TO OUR 2024 GALA & GIFT AUCTION EVENT PAGE!

WHO ATTENDS?

We welcome over 600 guests to our signature fundraiser mostly mothers and daughters of the Academy as well as our alumnae, Board of Trustees, Sisters of Charity and incoming freshman families. Rally your girls, their friends and their moms and plan your tables and get your tickets! 

A NOTE ON TABLE RESERVATIONS:

• Students usually sit together with their friends and the parents have their own tables together. There are 10 seats per table. 
• There is a drop-down menu for Registrations on our event webpage.
• If you'd like to be seated at a table with a specific group, please name one person a "Table Captain" for your table. 
• When purchasing your ticket list that name in the section of the registration asking for a Table Captain (table captain will be responsible for communicating on behalf of the group).
• In the same way one student can be a table captain for a group of students who plan to sit together.
• We also ask you to include your daughter's grade in her registration so our reservations committee can assign tables in sections by grade.
