A Message from the 2026 Gala Chairs

Ursuline’s Gala—Going for Gold—is just around the corner on Saturday, February 21, 2026 at the Astoria Event Venue. This podium-worthy evening is more than a celebration – it is one of the most meaningful ways our community comes together to open doors for Ursuline students through scholarships.

Whether you join us in the room, bid from home, or purchase raffle tickets, every act of participation creates opportunities for more young women to experience an Ursuline education rooted in faith, leadership, and Serviam. When our community shows up, we make a lasting impact together.

We invite you to help us reach our ambitious goal of raising $750,000 by rallying friends to purchase a table, securing individual tickets, or participating in the auction and raffle. Every gift, every bid, and every ticket purchased brings us closer to expanding access to an Ursuline education.

Auction highlights include trips to Lake Tahoe, Alys Beach, Evermore Resort; VIP college and professional sporting experiences; a hunting weekend; Dallas date nights with chef’s tasting dinners; and more unique packages.
