Our annual Gala fundraising dinner is right around the corner on May 7th. Last week, we sent out a flyer and information sheet about purchasing Gala tickets. If you are not able to attend but are able to donate, please access the link on our web page (hrrsjda.org), click on the “Donate Now” button and select “Tuition Assistance” from the drop-down menu under “Campaign.” ALL donations to tuition assistance will be DOUBLED by some special donors. No donation is too small. Please support this worthy cause. This event, which is our largest fundraiser, makes the gift of Catholic education accessible to all who seek it. If you need additional information, please contact Sarah at smckinney@hrrsjda.org.
Volunteer Opportunities Gala:
If you are still looking for volunteer hours, we have opportunities for you with the upcoming Gala on May 7th. We would love help getting ready for this event. Please let us know if you can assist with decoration/event set-up on Thursday evening May 5th, Friday May 6th during the day, and Saturday, May 7th the day of the event. Sign up now at VolunteerSpot: http://vols.pt/QjH8mD to assist on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday during the day. It is easy to do!!
We would also like to put together a group to do post event clean-up on Saturday night starting at 9:30 pm, May 7th in an effort to avoid cleaning up on Sunday (since it is Mother’s Day). The more hands, the quicker it will be complete. Sign up for Saturday evening at: http://vols.pt/deejDL
