List of 6 items.

• What is the date, time and location of the 2024 Gala?

  Saturday, March 2, 2024, at Hermitage Country Club (1248 Hermitage Road, Manakin-Sabot, Va., 23103)

• What should I wear?

  The suggested dress is black-tie optional or cocktail.

• What is the cost of the Gala?

  General seating at the Gala is $150 per person.

• What is the Raise the Shield portion of the evening?

  Raise the Shield is Steward’s version of Raise the Paddle, which is often used at auctions. During this part of the evening, we will ask for donations that will go directly to the School; one hundred percent of these donations are tax-deductible. Host Committee Sponsors participate in Raise the Shield by reserving a table (a $300 gift will automatically be designated from your sponsorship). 

• I can’t make it to the Gala. Are there other ways I can be involved?

  Yes! We have various sponsorship opportunities. The Program Sponsorship level, for example, allows families, individuals, and corporations to purchase a full- or half-page ad in the commemorative Gala program and include a photo and/or message. Families, corporations, friends, and local businesses are invited to support the Gala through sponsorships of any level. 

• I would love to volunteer to help with the Gala. How can I help?

  Great! We need volunteers. If you have time now, the auction committee is looking for help getting items for the auction. If you own a business (or know someone who does), we would love to have items and/or services to auction off at the event! In the past, we have received items and experiences of all sizes, including a week at a vacation home, tickets to sporting events and concerts, gift certificates to local businesses, great bottles of wine, and more! Donations are tax-deductible. Need more details? Contact the Development Office at development@stewardschool.org. 

  
  

  We also need help on the day of the event (Saturday, March 2, 2024) to transform the Hermitage Country Club into a magical Gala celebration space! A sign-up sheet will be available in February on the Gala webpage. Be on the lookout, or email development@stewardschool.org for more information.
