This formal event features a gourmet meal, raffles, silent auction and live auction. Each year is a different theme, reflected in the invitation, decor and menu.
Bishop Garrigan would like to thank our donors for their continued support. The donations equip our students with the tools to grow their faith, leadership, academic, artistic and athletic skills. The results have been nothing short of amazing!
Since 1990, families, staff and supporters have come together to celebrate Catholic education at Bishop Garrigan. Each year is a unique theme. Over 33 years, we have raised nearly 8 million dollars. We are very blessed! Thank you!
