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

We have six different levels of sponsorship available.

If I purchased auction items how do I get them?  

Purchases may be picked up in the Judge Advancement & Alumni House during the week after the Gala. Some items will be available to mail or ship if necessary.

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.
