What is the Drexel Fest?
The St. Katharine Drexel School Gala & Auction is an evening dedicated to our biggest fundraising effort of the year. The 2023 Gala will have more of a festival feel. It will be held on the grounds at SKD on Saturday April 15th from 6:30-11pm. This year we are doing our best to support local small businesses. Drexel Fest will include dinner from some local food trucks, drinks, snacks and dessert. We are also planning on some fun games like bucket ball, a wine toss and a cornhole tournament. We are bringing back our in-person silent auction items and live auction items. All proceeds of the Saint Katharine Drexel Gala will support facility and maintenance updates.
How will sponsorships and advertisers be displayed?
We will provide a digital copy of descriptions and values for all items up for auction, the event program exhibits all of our valued sponsors, advertisers and donors that made this event possible. All sponsors will be represented on volunteer staff shirts. Depending on sponsorship level, your name or logo will be on a sign or banner that will be placed throughout the event. Please show your appreciation by patronizing these establishments. We also want to thank the school families who donated items as well. Should you or someone you know wish to support SKD School by way of Drexel Fest 2023, please email the Gala Committee at [email protected]. More details on sponsorship and advertising opportunities can be found on the Gala website: www.skdschoolgala.weebly.com.

Thanks to the generosity of our SKD Board of Directors and Parent Association, we will again be offering an amazing Grand Prize to be raffled off the night of the Gala. The Grand Prize is $1000 Hershey Giftcard! You can purchase tickets by emailing [email protected].
