Gala 2016: Dine, Dance, Donate to another 50 years of community education

​By Danielle Lankford, Guadalupe School Communications Specialist 
So, what’s this gala all about?
Every year, our annual gala has been a celebration of the accomplishments of Guadalupe School and a time to look forward and raise money for the goals ahead. This year, though, is extra special because it is our fiftieth birthday, and so we’re changing things up a bit and throwing a swinging birthday party!
If you are able to make it, here’s what you can expect:

• An AMAZING Latin-inspired dinner by The Brulee Catering
• A warm and welcoming program highlighting fifty years of Guadalupe history by Sterling Poulson of KUTV2
• The world premiere of our 50th birthday mini-documentary produced with Twig Media Lab
• Hear about our mission from an adult education student and parent
• The opportunity to win exciting packages like​
  • A box for a Salt Lake Bees Game
  • Private cooking class for you and your friends
  • University of Utah football tickets and swag
  • Ultimate Kids Summer with camps, activities, and toys
  • Spoil your Pet Package with grooming, handmade accessories, and photo session
  • Real Salt Lake tickets and swag
  • Tuacahn Season Package
• A performance to rock the dance floor from Todo Mundo

Why should I attend?
If you aren’t already convinced that you should attend for the live music, awesome prizes, and delicious food, there’s one more big reason you should think about buying a ticket: to support fifty years of welcoming Salt Lake City’s immigrants through education. For every full price ticket, dance party ticket, and donation made at the event, funds will go directly to our programs. It is only through the generosity of the community that this “crazy dream” of Guadalupe School started back in 1966. We need your help to carry it on.

Ok, I’m ready to party! Where do I sign up?
