    WHAT IS THE OAKLAND CATHOLIC GALA? YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN US FOR Oakland Catholic High School offers a unique educational experience to young women who serve as a beacon of hope and light to our Pittsburgh neighborhoods and beyond: future leaders who will inspire positive change in our world. Their leadership development occurs within the heart of a city that has taken a place on the national stage as future-oriented and innovative. A city that we are proud to call our campus and our home. To celebrate the importance of this one-of-a-kind Oakland Catholic High School experience, we have designed a gala that's very different from a typical auction. Instead of buying a ticket, bidding on silent auction items that you probably don't need, and juggling your wine glass with raffle tickets, we’ve kept it simple by increasing sponsorship opportunities at different levels and inviting you to a large OC-style party!. CONSIDER DONATING TOWARDS A SPONSORSHIP, OR MAKING AN ADDITIONAL CASH DONATION, IN LIEU OF WHAT YOU TYPICALLY WOULD SPEND AT A FUNDRAISING AUCTION! The Elite Showband will be present for live music and dancing. Nothing to buy—no raffles, no silent or live auctions—just hors d’oeuvres, drinks, a sit down dinner, great company, music, and dancing. The funds raised for this event are extremely important to the well-being of Oakland Catholic High School and we count on the proceeds raised through Gala sponsors and attendees. The event promises to be one of the most enjoyable and memorable evenings of the year! ADVANCEMENT OFFICE • 144 NORTH CRAIG STREET • PITTSBURGH, PA 15213 We want to see you there! 412.682.6797 • OAKLANDCATHOLIC.ORG PRESENTING LEGACY SILVER BURGUNDY ST.
