💙 $50,000 Match: Reverse Auction for Tuition Assistance 💙
This year, your generosity at the Celebrate His Gifts Gala goes twice as far! Thanks to a $100,000 grant from Lutheran Women in Mission (LWML), we’ll receive $50,000 in matching funds for the reverse auction. That means every tuition assistance donation—online or in person at the Gala—will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000!
Together, we can help open doors for students to grow academically, socially, and spiritually, and work toward our $100,000 tuition assistance goal.

A competitive highlight of the evening, the Dessert Auction takes place from 5:25–6:45 PM and is the only portion of the silent auction happening the night of the event.
Work with your table to identify your favorite treats, plan your bidding strategy, and maybe even have a dedicated bidder ready to secure the win for your table as the auction closes. 🎯
There may not be enough desserts for every table, so be sure to check on your item of choice frequently to make sure your table snags a sweet treat to enjoy.
