GALA DONATION IDEA — HOST A PARTY!

Would you be willing to host a “Sign Me Up” event and donate it to the 2024 Gala & auction?

What is a “Sign Me Up” Event or Party?

These are events that parents, or a group of adults or students, agree to host for as many people as they find appropriate for the specific activity/party. Attendees can be adults, kids, or a combination of the two. The hosts cover all expenses of the party, and 100% of the funds raised by the event benefit our school. Prices can range depending on the event, with most adult parties falling in the $30-$80 per person range and most kid parties in the $20-$40 range.

Why Are “Sign Me Up” Events & Parties Important to our auction?

Sign Me Up Parties are a fun addition to the auction. They are fun, quite popular, and a great opportunity for community building! Whether you host a party or just sign up to attend one, you are sure to have a fabulous time mixing and mingling with other ALA families.

In the past, we've hosted two of these types of parties: a Craft Crawl (for adults) and a Opening Day trip to see the latest Avenger movie (for students). Both were well-received!

A Few “Sign Me Up” Party & Event Ideas:

For the Family: D’Backs Tailgate Party (pre-game), Family Kickball Game, Parent/Child Cooking Class, Mother/Daughter Tea Party, Family Game Night, Adult & Kid Bowling, Amazing Race Adventure, Parent/Kid Dodgeball Game, Outdoor Movie and S'mores Night, Scavenger Hunt, Cake Pop Workshop

For the Parents:
 Neighborhood Wine Walk, Cornhole Tournament, Cinco De Mayo celebration, Chili Cookoff, Costume Party, Mom’s Morning Hike & Brunch, Themed Dinner Party, Kentucky Derby Party, Bunco, College Throwback Party, Scotch & Steaks, Bakery & Wine Tasting (we have a free wine tasting for 20 voucher at Total Wine& More that someone could use)

Here’s how:
  1. Plan any type of party, activity or get-together for any number of adults, families or kids in the ALA community.
  2. Recruit your friends as co-hosts – it makes throwing the party much easier, cost-effective and a lot more fun!
  3. Check in with the auction team as soon as possible to discuss your idea/s and timing.
  4. Plan (with your co-hosts) to cover all of the costs of the party as a contribution to the Gala & auction.
  5. Finalize your basic party info: how many guests, where/when, etc. and fill out info online thru the Sign Me Up Host Form.
  6. We’ll auction off admission to your party during the online auction and any remaining available spots during the Gala on March 22. All proceeds will go to support ALA!
  7. Throw your party… meet some people, have a blast!

Be creative! Have fun! Ready to host? Complete this form.
