2026 ADS Gala: Hammer & Hope

This year's Hammer & Hope Gala initiative is a Cathedral wide-one focusing on the renovations in the Vocalis Education Building.  These renovations will include new floors in all the hallways and classrooms, new built-in closets/storage for not only ADS, but Sunday School & Greek School, and new desks & furniture for all classrooms.

Our goal is $400,000 and by working together, we can reach and fulfill our Gala initiative.  We kindly ask for your gifts through sponsorship, donations, bidding on the silent auction items and/or attending the Gala dinner to participate in the Live Auction.  We will also be honoring the Karatassos family with the St. Kosmas of Aetolia award for their outstanding contributions to ADS and the Cathedral over these last several years.

Your Gala dinner ticket will include hors d'oeuvres, three course dinner (Mediterranean salad; Short Ribs or Butternut Squash Ravioli;  and alternating presets of chocolate flourless cake and banana brulee), with unlimited red & white wine. 

Come be a part of this festive and joyous evening of fellowship and fundraising as we enhance our campus facilities where our students learn and grow!

Thank you to our generous sponsors!
