I’m interested in being a Gala Sponsor. What do I do?

We have three different levels of sponsorship available

If I purchased auction items how do I get them?  

If you purchased anything with more than gift certificates, then you can make an appointment to pick up your purchase(s) from the Judge Advancement & Alumni House for the week after the Gala.  If your purchases only includes gift certificates, we will mail them to you.  However, Gala sponsors can have their purchased delivered to them.  If you have any questions, you can contact Susan Lollini

Where do the proceeds from the Gala go?

Proceeds from the Gala help us raise the funds that are necessary to maintain and enhance the excellent education provided to students. These funds also assist us in minimizing tuition increases and charging less per student than the true cost of education, allowing Judge to remain accessible to a diverse group of students. We also keep Judge affordable by providing need-based financial aid to 70% of our students.
