Cardinal Newman Gala: A Night to Remember

Thank you to everyone who supported this year’s Cardinal Newman Gala. It was a wonderful evening at Spring Valley Country Club on February 28, 2026, where our community gathered to celebrate our school, our mission, and the legacy of Cardinal Newman through the decades.

Because of your generosity and support, the event raised over $40,000 to benefit Cardinal Newman School.

Event Highlights

  • $29,000 raised through sponsorships

  • $3,465 raised through the gala auction

  • $520 raised from the wine pull

  • $9,940 raised through the community online auction

We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, host families, donors, bidders, volunteers, and everyone who joined us for this special evening. Your commitment to Cardinal Newman makes a meaningful difference for our students and faculty.
