St. Paul Lutheran School's Red Tie Gala Sets New Record

St. Paul Lutheran School's Red Tie Gala and auction takes place every other year. It is held in the Terrace Club at Progressive Field, the home of the Cleveland Indians. What a setting for a fundraiser!

Two years ago, Auction brio educated the committee members with fresh ideas to generate new money to the live auction and introduce a Fund-a-Need opportunity. The benefit leaped to new levels of giving.

This year, Mark Schroeder BAS conducted the live auction and Fund-a-Need auctions again. With the assistance of a strong committee who collected some unique live auction items, the live again set a new record. The Fund-a-Need ask ran into a little glitch executing the video presentation, but guests patiently waited and we proceeded with our ask which supporters gave generously.

It was another record evening for St. Paul Lutheran School and we are proud to have been a part of their fundraising success!
