Celebration 2021

Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School is pleased to present opportunities to support Celebration 2021, a virtual gala to provide tuition assistance to students. As one of our biggest fundraising efforts, Celebration is necessary in order to keep tuition affordable for all families who want their daughters to receive the lifetime advantage of a McAuley education. The success of Celebration in past years has been due in large part to the support of sponsors, parents, friends, and alumnae.

On behalf of the 2021 Celebration committee, we ask you to support our efforts be becoming an event sponsor, or  by donating an item or experience for the live or silent auction. More information can be found below.
