The 36th Annual Benefit Gala is heading into the WILD for an unforgettable jungle-inspired evening celebrating everything we LOVE about St. Michael’s.

Come ready to answer the call of the wild and experience St. Michael’s most anticipated event of the year! Step into a lush jungle of spectacular auction items, wildly creative décor, delicious food and drinks, and plenty of fun — all while making a meaningful impact on our school. From untamed adventures to one-of-a-kind treasures, every bid and every contribution helps St. Michael’s continue to flourish.
So gather your herd, embrace your wild side, and join us for a roaring good time!
St. Michael’s Benefit Gala is a time-honored tradition that brings parents, alumni, faculty, and friends together to celebrate and support our students, programs, and initiatives. As the School’s largest fundraising event, the Gala combines spectacular auction items, unique entertainment, and spirited fun — all in support of the St. Michael’s community we’re so WILD about.
The Benefit Gala is the “not-to-be-missed” parent event of the year!
