The Annual Ignite Gala is one of Saint Joe’s largest fundraising events. There are many sponsors and donors for the Gala and all the money goes to bettering Saint Joe. The Gala consists of multiple auctions and chances to donate money for fundraising purposes and to help better the education here at Saint Joe.

The people who can attend the Gala are sponsors, faculty and staff, and friends and family of students. The tickets are $125 to attend but you can also donate to certain charities or sponsorships to attend. There are many sponsor opportunities for the gala ranging from $2,000-$12,500. When you sponsor the Gala, you can bring up to 10 guests and get recognition in the program.  It also helps guarantee that you will be seated with your friends. The Gala includes a full dinner, a bar, music, and talks given by sponsors and staff. It is a great way to connect with other members of the Saint Joe community. There also is an auction where you can donate items or gift cards to be sold. All the money from the auction goes to the Fund For Saint Joseph which helps bridge the gap between tuition and the annual cost of education.

This years theme is Make a Joyful Noise. The Gala will take place on Friday, March 28, 2025 from 6:30-9:30 PM. It is at Four Winds Casino in South Bend Indiana. Please tell your parents to consider attending and even sponsoring the Gala because it is a fun and rewarding event that raises money for Saint Joe.
