GALA TEAM WANTS YOU!

The Gala has been coined as "the event of the year." It's an evening fundraiser, auction, and dinner, with support from many, many people — set for Saturday, March 28, 2026.

At past Galas, we've raised funds for the Den, new vans, the marquee, locker rooms, bleachers, shade canopy, classroom lighting, our five-classroom expansion project, and more. It's an incredible blessing to our students! 

Have you ever attended? Got ideas to make the Gala even better? Are you creative? Do you love parties? Do you love planning parties? If you answered yes to any of these, you would be a fantastic asset to the 2026 Gala Planning Team. We're looking for at least 5 more people to join, and joining the team is a great way to get to know new people.

Insider tip: our theme has retro flair to it this year, but we're not revealing the title or logo... until our first meeting!

Our first official meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept 3 from 5:00- 6:00pm at Black Rock coffee in Laveen.

 

• We keep the meetings to one hour
• We meet once each month from Sept- March. (So that's only 7 meetings.)
• We also offer a virtual meeting option, so if you live out of town or can't get to ALA on a weeknight, you can still join the team.

Interested? Sign up here.
