Dust off your boots and get out your cowboy hats – it’s time for An Evening on the Ranch at the Providence Academy Parent Association’s Annual Gala! Join us on Saturday, April 25 at Providence Academy for an unforgettable evening of western-chic fun, toe-tappin’ music and spirited fundraising – all to benefit every PA student. We are currently rustlin’ up donations and are hoping you can help! 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! 2026 Gala Donation form can be found here.
Donate to the Class Baskets! 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 2nd, and go through Monday, March 16th . Click here to donate online. Grade level themes are listed below. If there is any theme you are interested in contributing to aside from your child’s respective grade, we will happily accept. Each basket has a few items listed to give a general feel for the theme but the sky’s the limit and we encourage other fun ideas!
