Houston, we have a gala… The 35th Annual Benefit Gala is blasting off to a universe filled with bright stars, big dreams, and boundless potential. After all, the sky’s not the limit at St. Michael’s — it’s just the beginning.

Come ready to reach for the stars, dress for the cosmos, and maybe dance like there’s zero gravity at St. Michael’s most anticipated event of the year. Step into a galaxy of stellar auction items, dazzling décor, and far-out fun—all while making an astronomical impact for our school. From moon-worthy moments to star-studded giving, this is one night where every contribution helps us reach new heights. Get your boarding pass, gather your flight crew, and join us for a night that’s truly out of this world!

St. Michael’s Benefit Gala is a time-honored tradition that continues to bring parents, alumni, faculty, and friends together to celebrate St. Michael’s students, programs, and initiatives. The Benefit Gala is the School’s largest fundraising event with spectacular items and unique entertainment in a fun and festive environment.

It is a TRULY wonderful night out to support St. Michael’s… the Benefit Gala is the “not-to-be-missed” parent event of the year!
