Spring Gala

It’s been two long years! It is time to come together in celebration for an in-person event. It will be casual. It will be fun. Think s’mores, photobooth, whiskey & cigar lounge, and dancing. Get ready for a boot-stompin’, good ol’ time with your closest Grauer friends and family.

We have cut the tickets in half this year. We want y’all to be there!

• Individual Ticket: $75
• Sponsor a Teacher Ticket: $75
• Round Up! Ticket: $225 (Includes an individual ticket, sponsoring a teacher ticket, and guaranteed parking at The Grauer Ranch)

The Gala will take place at The Grauer Ranch (aka Grauer Campus).

This is an outdoor event so you may want to consider bringing a sweater or jacket to stay warm. Boots or comfortable shoes are recommended, as the dinner and dancing portion of the evening will take place on the grass field.

If you purchased a Round Up! Ticket, we will have a reserved parking spot ready for you on campus. All other parking is on a first come, first serve basis. We highly encourage alternative modes of transportation, such as Uber, Lyft, and horseback.

Your health and safety is our priority! Masks are currently not required on campus, however, people who want to wear masks to self-protect, can do so. We will continue follow the State and County regulations and will alert guests prior to the event if anything changes. 

We are proud to partner with Giuseppe catering, who has put together a wonderful rustic, ranch inspired menu. There will be a one-sided buffet (with Giuseppe staff serving) to include salmon, a tri-tip carving station and plenty of fixins!

Your ticket includes a fully-hosted bar, plus wine service at dinner. 

We ultimately want you to be comfortable! Plaid shirt and jeans? You bet! Dress and boots? Heck yeah!

Sorry, partner! This is a casual, open seated event. We will have plenty of farm tables on the field for you; 8 people per table. 

Bring yourself and get ready for a good time! Also make sure you have a charged phone on hand to participate in mobile bidding. At check-in, every guest will receive a nametag and a program book.

The auction will open on Wednesday, April 27. Silent auction items will be available for bidding online via our Mobile Bidding App, but can also be viewed in person at the gala. The silent auction will close on Saturday, April 30, immediately following cocktail hour. 

Guests will be assigned a bid number, which will be printed on the back of your program. To bid on live auction items, visibly wave your bid number. Continue to hold your card in view of the auctioneer until your bid number is called. If you are the highest bidder, the auctioneer will announce your bid number as the winner. A volunteer will record your bid number on a confirmation sheet and this amount will be later posted to your bill. 

All credit cards will be run on Monday, May 2. Auction items will be available for pick-up at Grauer from Wednesday, May 4 through Friday, May 7.

The Advancement Office will follow-up with any official gift receipts and acknowledgements for gifts of check, cash or stock, in support of our Raise the Paddle.
