34th Annual Gehlen Catholic Ball of Gratitude
General Chairs Todd and Lori Ellensohn, along with Jeff & Stephanie Gengler are ready to kick-off the 34th Annual Gehlen Catholic Ball which will take place Saturday, April 17 with a theme of “Gratitude”.
“This year's Ball of Gratitude was chosen because everyone at Gehlen Catholic has appreciated the outpouring of community support during this past year's pandemic. Everyone has been so accommodating during scheduling and event changes and continued their support of our school even through the tough financial times. Gehlen Catholic could not function without the support of the community and that is why we have chosen this year's ball to be a 'Ball of Gratitude,’ explained the Ellensohns.
A purchase of a $125 ticket will receive 2 drive-thru meals from Iowa BBQ on the night of Saturday, April 17. While picking up meals, guests will experience a gratitude parade when driving down 1st Ave SW to pick up their meals out front of Iowa BBQ.
Raffle tickets are also being sold for $100 each for a chance to win $5,000/$3,000/$2,000! Only 300 tickets are sold for this raffle!
“Supporters of this unique ball will be able to visit and communicate with the Ball Chairs through this parade while getting their delicious meal,” said the Genglers.
After picking up meals, guests can relax at home and be entertained by joining the 7:00 pm online program and auction.
“This year's ball will incorporate the students more than ever. They will be personally sharing their gratitude with those who join in the fun of the night,” shared the Ellensohns. “Gehlen Catholic students are the future and they would enjoy sharing their experiences and appreciation with you.”
Your donations help fund art & teaching supplies, technology, educational field trips, PE equipment and so much more to keep my school running smoothly.
