1) Why have a gala? Grace Lutheran Church is a source of significant support for Grace Christian Academy by providing classroom space and services. Without this support, GCA could not offer such low tuition rates as compared to other area private schools. Though tuition covers many of the physical needs of the school, there remains a gap between tuition and the actual cost to educate a scholar. And because of their extraordinary outreach to help others, Grace Christian Academy provides tuition assistance to many families for whom a Christian education might be out of reach. The gala will be a fun opportunity for those who support Christian education to get together and show that support.
2) How can I be a sponsor? A number of sponsorship opportunities at varying levels are available. Sponsorship levels can be found here. If you have any questions, please contact us.
3) If I can't attend the Gala, can I still participate in the Silent Auction? Yes! The Silent Auction begins online on April 13th 1st and runs through 7:10 p.m. on May 7th. All bidding will be mobile this year.
4) Can I donate an item for the Silent Auction? Please and thank you! A donation form can be found here.
5) I can’t make it to the gala, but I’d still like to support Christian education at Grace. Thanks!
