Green Gate Gala

Our annual auction, the Green Gate Gala, is a spirited event for the community to celebrate and support our scholarship fund. 100% of the net proceeds from the Gala go directly into Visitation’s financial aid budget. This academic year, 33% of Visitation’s students received over $2.2 million in financial aid assistance. We believe that when we come together to support the increasing needs for financial aid at Visitation, our entire community is strengthened. By working together, we can ensure that the dream of a Visitation education becomes a reality for remarkable, deserving students who need our help.

Next year (2020) will be be our 21st Annual Green Gate Gala! Come back next fall to save the date!
