This year, we look forward to raising $200,000 for our scholarship fund! Approximately 25% of ACA students receive need-based tuition assistance. That amounts to 65+ students who, if not for that generous aid, may not be able to attend ACA

— a $10 raffle full of items for men, women, and children!

—A live auction!

—Another exciting part of the gala is a paddle raise for scholorships.

—A long list of buy-a-share parties to fill your summer social calendar—and much more!

Be sure to register as a bidder so you can participate in the auction and also have a seat at a table (assigned seating).

Sponsorships are available, too—for businesses, churches, and individuals (who will get first dibs on bidding for the ever-popular buy-a-share parties)!

A catalog will be sent out with students the week of 3/2 so you can peruse all the parties, raffle items, live auction items, and other donations before they go live on 3/8 at 6:00pm or at the gala!

This year we will have Buy-A-Share parties (one time events, hosted by ACA families), Time & Talent services donated by ACA families, raffle items, and Live Auction items.

We will play Heads or Tails (necklaces are $10 each) where the winner will get $1000 off tuition next year!

Our auctioneer is back! He will oversee a live auction and he will do a paddle raise to help us raise money for Scholarships! You will get your paddle at check in.

Tickets are $50 per person but please reach out to gala@augustineclassical.org if you’d like to attend but are not able to pay for a ticket this year.

We do need all guests to register so they have a meal, a seat at a table, and a bidder number.

Sponsorships start at $1500 and come with even more perks like extra raffle tickets, recognition, and ACA swag!

Sponsors are crucial to our school as they kick start the fundraising for the night to ensure we meet our fundraising goals for the year to ensure our building is student ready and enable us to provide scholarships so our wonderful school is an accessible option for families throughout Denver.

If you’re interested in a Corporate Sponsorship, please email gala@augustineclassical.org to get your sponsorship set up TODAY!

Because this is a celebratory event, we welcome you to dress for feasting, drinking, and merriment!

Yes! We will enjoy cheese and provisions while we mingle and gather raffle tickets or bid up one another at the silent auction. We will then sit down to feast upon Casa Crobu's homemade Lasagna & salad followed by a delectable dessert.

When registering for the gala, you will have an option to request a GF/DF Lasagna or a Vegetarian Lasagna.

Each attendee will get one free drink and sponsors will get more! The bar will remain open until 9:30pm if you’d like to purchase an additional drink.
