Why It Matters

Our Goal: Over $250,000.

The Gala is CASTA's biggest fundraiser of the year. It features our headmaster and students, giving every guest a glimpse into the formation they are receiving. Every ticket, sponsorship, and auction bid helps fund teachers' salaries, student scholarships, and our academic and archery programs, so a classical Catholic education stays within reach for local families.
