Holy Rosary Gala 2017

The fifth annual Gala is complete! It was a very successful night raising $215,000 in funds to support tuition assistance. We are so grateful to all the donors who support Catholic education at Holy Rosary School. These donors have also been instrumental in raising capital campaign funds which have provided the fire/life safety system, new student bathrooms, office space, and the current construction of the elevator. We are lucky to have donors that not only support our mission but have provided these major upgrades to our school.


Thank you to the following families who assisted in making the Gala a success:

  • Gala program - Carrie Hernandez
  • PowerPoint presentation - Abbie Klosinski
  • Decorations - Erika Ruelas, Lizbeth Duran, Kylie Muñoz, Beatriz Flores & Family, Xochilt Villegas, Maria Duran, and Valerie Pettit.
  • Flowers - Janet Lepore
  • Set-up/Clean-up - Esteban & Diane Acosta, Janel Martin, Leianna Perkins-Muse, Celeste Sorensen, Thomas Ramos, James & Rhodora Johnson, Christina Lorella & Mom, Josiah Peñalver, Rocio Castrejon, Casey McKinney, Melissa Curtis, Julie McDaniel, Erin Kirkendall, and Shanan O’Driscoll
  • Event Assistance - Gina Cole, Alyssa Illich, Heather Young, Mark Brady, and Jamie Chaloner.
