Help Us Celebrate the Past — Build the Future
-
The SMS Legacy Gala is more than a night of celebration. It’s a gathering of our school community, alumni, families, and supporters coming together to honor our heritage and invest in our future. Sponsorships help make the evening possible — from the venue and entertainment, to scholarships and programs for our students.
By becoming a sponsor, you’re helping support tuition assistance, school programs, and the enduring legacy of St. Mary Catholic School — all while gaining meaningful visibility and recognition for your support.
