1st Annual Gala - A Huge Success!
The 1st Annual Chesterton Academy Gala, held on Saturday October 14th 2023, was a huge success! We are overwhelmed by your generosity, and by the powerful witness to Rhode Island's desire for a school like Chesterton Academy. More than 400 people attended and shared in our celebration. Your gifts allow us to make an affordable, classical, authentically Catholic education available to Rhode Island's families. Thanks to your generosity, and heartfelt gifts of all sizes, we secured and maxed out a $100,000 matching pledge, and raised a net total of just over $250,000 at our first annual Gala. These funds make significant progress toward satisfying our need for the upcoming academic year. Every dollar directly supports the education of the young men and women who enter our doors each day to grow in wisdom, joy, and virtue. We are grateful for everyone that supported our gala fundraiser, including attendees, donors, program and event sponsors, and silent auction contributors and bidders.
