Ticket deadline approaches for St. Andrew gala fundraiser

By CJ HADDAD - | Jan 26, 2024

Members of the community can enjoy “a night of enchantment” in support of a Cape Coral school.

St. Andrew Catholic School will host its annual themed gala event on Feb. 3 from 6 to 10:30 p.m. at the Sidney & Berne Davis Center in downtown Fort Myers. Organizers say time is running out to purchase tickets to the event that helps raise funds for the school.

“The theme is us presenting a nice winter evening,” said St. Andrew Committee Member Maria Montwill. “No snow involved, just a mix of a woodsy winter night, with the goal of raising money for the future of St. Andrew Catholic School.”

Montwill said a goal for this year’s fundraising is for security upgrades, including having Lee County Sheriff’s Office deputies in the hallways.

“We have security now, but we really was LCSO to be our security,” Montwill said.

The deadline to secure a seat at the gala is today, Jan. 26. Tickets include an appetizer, dinner, dessert, and drinks.

Jason “Big Mama” Jones from B103.9 will serve as the deejay for the night. There will be both silent and live auctions with a variety of themes, raffles, ballerina dancers, and more.

Organizers said all are welcome to attend the gala. They are hopeful to expand their reach for a fun night out, and are excited to see festive-themed attire.

“This is to get parents and alumni together for a night of celebration and fundraising,” Montwill said. “Anybody in the parish or affiliated with St. Andrew is welcome. It’s a great way to get involved and know the behind-the-scenes of the school and know what the committee does. We work hard to put this event on to give everyone a chance to enjoy themselves for a night and get dressed up and raise money for a good cause. We want nothing more in our kids’ future than to be successful and to have a good life ahead of them, and with that comes good schools.”

Tickets are $150 and can be purchased online by visiting standrewcs.org/sacs-gala. Sponsorship levels can also be found on the same site.

Sidney & Berne Davis Center is at 2301 First St. in Fort Myers.
