PETOSKEY – April 16, 2024 – St. Michael High School (SMHS), Northern Michigan’s only Classical Catholic high school, announced today that tickets are still available, and the on-line silent auction and 50/50 raffle are ‘live’, for its Third Annual Celebration Gala – Saturday, April 27 at 5:00pm at the Grand Unity Event Center.
The Gala is St. Michael’s primary annual fundraising event, celebrating the school, its students, and the Truth, Goodness, and Beauty of Classical Catholic education!
Gala tickets cost $125 and can be purchased through the SMHS website via www.stmichaelchesterton.org/gala. All proceeds will go toward supporting the SMHS operating fund.
Doors will open at 5:00pm for an evening that will include a cocktail hour, dinner, and student performances. The event will also feature live and silent auctions.
“We’ve added an on-line silent auction this year, partly as a means of freeing up early evening time to mingle and catch up with fellow supporters,” shared SMHS Gala co-chair Kendall Hayes. “With help from our students, we’ve assembled a delightful collection of unique and/or local items and baskets that are sure to please – either to pass along as gifts or for your own enjoyment!”
