The event raised $420,000 with two additional gifts totaling $100,000 to support the Prep's East Wing Project. Thank you to all our event sponsors, underwriters, journal advertisers and every attendee who helped make this celebration such a success. Whether you joined us in person, were a sponsor, made a donation, participated in our community mass, purchased a Ram Raffle ticket or simply kept us in your prayers, we are grateful for your generosity and contribution to our mission.
