What is the Big Blue Bash?
The Big Blue Bash is the largest annual fundraiser for the PTO held each year. Guests will enjoy dinner by the bite provided by Otto's Restaurant Group, entertainment, and exciting auctions filled with unique items and experiences. The evening promises to be a vibrant blend of fun and philanthropy.

With the funds raised at Big Blue Bash, the PTO provides support with assistance of academic enrichment programs, teacher classroom projects, and more. In 2025, proceeds from Big Blue Bash contributed to the cost of the new Student Resource Officer. Your attendance & support will make a meaningful difference!

Who can attend the Big Blue Bash?
Parents, grandparents, family friends, parish members and community members. Anyone over 21 who is interested in supporting Saint Agnes School.

What do we wear to the event?
Think "getaway glam" - Bright colors, breezy fabrics, and bold florals all fit the vibe. Tropical prints, flowy dresses, linen suits and fun accessories are encouraged, but "come as you are" is always the real dress code. Wear whatever makes you feel like sunshine.

Will there be T-Shirts again this year?
YES! We will once again offer BBB Spiritwear t-shirts for students (and parents)! They will go on sale in the New Year and be approved wear on designated days leading up to and after the BBB!
