HSA Gala & Auction

Greetings!

We are delighted to share that the Set Sail for Saint Mary's 2026 Home and School Association Auction & Gala was a tremendous success, raising more than $400,000 in support of The Basilica School of Saint Mary.

On Saturday, April 25, 2026, nearly 500 parents, alumni, parishioners, friends, and community partners gathered for an unforgettable evening celebrating our school while providing vital support for its programs, faculty, students, and future capital needs. More than our largest annual fundraiser, the Auction & Gala is a joyful expression of the generosity, fellowship, and shared commitment that define our school community.

We are profoundly grateful to the many families and businesses who served as our Gala Partners. Their generous sponsorships helped make this extraordinary evening possible and provided the foundation for its remarkable success. We invite you to recognize these valued partners in the listing below.

Our heartfelt appreciation also extends to our outstanding parent Gala Committee leaders—Summer Bravo, Cassie Mabee, Downey Magallanes, Michelle Boyd, Laura Nicholson, Amanda Shell, Ivy Malone, Brett Quick, and Sean Carroll—whose vision, creativity, and countless hours of volunteer service brought this memorable event to life. We are equally thankful to the many additional parent volunteers who generously assisted with planning, set-up, registration, and countless behind-the-scenes details.

A special word of gratitude goes to the families who hosted our beloved Sign-On Parties. Their creativity, hospitality, and generosity provide experiences that strengthen friendships and build community long after Gala night has ended.

Finally, we thank every parent, donor, and business who contributed auction items, unique experiences, and financial support. Now in its 32nd year, the Home and School Association Auction & Gala continues to be the school's premier fundraising event and one of our most cherished community traditions. We are deeply grateful for the extraordinary gifts of time, talent, and treasure shared by so many. Together, you ensure that The Basilica School of Saint Mary continues to nurture saints, scholars, and stewards for generations to come.
