Here are a few ways that you can get involved:
Donate a Live or Silent Auction Item! The Gala committee is seeking your help in securing the auction packages that make this the biggest fundraising event of the year at PA! 2025 Gala Donation form can be found here.
Donate to the Class Baskets! We are excited to announce the Providence Academy Gala, “Rock the Den”, will take place on Saturday, April 26th, 2025. One of the most popular parts of the gala is the silent auction and we need your help to make it a success. Each grade has been assigned a theme for a basket to be auctioned off leading up to and during the gala. We would appreciate it if families could help contribute toward their grade level’s silent auction basket. Donations will start Monday, March 3rd, and go through Friday, April 4th.
