On behalf of the Gonzaga Mothers Club, I am honored to welcome you to Gonzaga’s 44th annual Christmas Gala, St. Aloysius Old World Christmas. We are grateful for the opportunity to gather together to celebrate the Christmas season and the spirit, traditions, and fellowship that make Gonzaga so special.

We particularly want to thank our sponsors and all the families and friends who generously supported this year’s Gala. Whether it was through the purchase of an ad or Gala merchandise, or the donation of items for our live or silent auction, this evening’s success is a direct reflection of the participation by our entire Gonzaga family.

The Gala is a gift to the Gonzaga community, lovingly dedicated through the time and talent of so many Gonzaga Mothers Club volunteers. Our 2024 Gala Chairs – Jennifer Burnside, Olivia Dorieux, Shannon Merkle, and Tara Moore –led a fabulous team of dedicated Gala Committee Chairs, and have given us a true labor of love in our St. Aloysius Old World Christmas. May that generous spirit remain in all of us this evening.

We wish all of the Gonzaga community a blessed and very Merry Christmas.

Raise the Paddle

During this season of Thanksgiving, there are countless reasons to be thankful for

The Gift of Gonzaga.

Tonight, we hope you will Raise Your Paddle in appreciation for what Gonzaga has given to your son and to your family

Raise Your Paddle in honor of your son’s favorite teacher or coach or in recognition of the impact the spirit of service has had on him

Raise Your Paddle as a shout-out to the team or club that has enriched your son’s time at Gonzaga

Raise Your Paddle to celebrate the bonds of brotherhood and friendship your son has formed on Eye Street

There are so many reasons we are thankful for Gonzaga

We hope you will consider a generous gift when you are invited to RAISE YOUR PADDLE!

All gifts raised during the Raise the Paddle portion of the Gala go to support the Gonzaga Annual Fund

Thank you for Raising Your Paddle for Gonzaga!

The Gonzaga Annual Fund is the critical source of support that allows Gonzaga to keep tuition relatively low for all families -- while supporting both faculty salaries and tuition assistance for those students who otherwise would not be able to attend Gonzaga The reality is that tuition alone falls far short of meeting the costs of running the school -- with actual per-student costs over $7,500 more than tuition When you support the Annual Fund, you help keep Gonzaga affordable and accessible for all families, while funding things like faculty salaries and financial aid that are essential to the Gonzaga experience

T h e K e e f e F a m i l y

and the Class of 2025 M e r r y C h r i s t m a s
