1. What is Charting the Course Gala?

Charting the Course Gala is our annual gala fundraiser. Our last in-person gala event was in April 2019 so we are very excited to be in-person again this year. As a charter school, St. Croix Prep receives less funding than the traditional surrounding public school so the funds raised from our annual gala is used to close the funding gap.

2. What are we raising money for?

This year the Gala proceeds will benefit the St. Croix Prep Foundation’s new endowment account, which has been established to support St. Croix Prep in perpetuity. The idea of an endowment to support St. Croix Prep builds upon the principles of Character and Leadership espoused by the school.

As part of character development, the Upper School requires all students to document service hours in the community. St. Croix Prep teaches that leadership is the ability to first think and reason, then act with integrity and responsibility.

What better way to join our students in service and leadership than ensuring St. Croix Prep can continue to offer its amazing education long after our students have graduated.

Over time, funds from the endowment will be used to retain and attract talented teachers to further our mission of providing an exceptional education to our students.

The St. Croix Prep Foundation has engaged the St. Paul & Minnesota Foundation as a partner to manage the endowment fund due to its reputation and track record of successfully managing other endowments.

3. What is the dress code for the Gala?

Party attire!

4. Do I need to attend to bid on auction items?

For the silent auction items, you are not required to attend. Our school community is welcome to bid on the auction items (silent auction items will be available to bid on starting on Wednesday, February 8). Simply login/create an account on the online auction platform and you will be able to bid on any of the silent auction items. Only the live auction items are guests required to be in attendance to bid on at the Gala.

5. May I pay for my donation or auction items with something other than a credit card?

If you’d like to pay for your donation/auction items via check or cash, please reach out to Susan Peterson at susanpeterson@stcroixprep.org to make arrangements.
