St. Mary’s Academy dared its community of supporters to dream big, and they rose to the challenge, raising $851,000 for the all-girls school.
On Saturday, April 17, guests gathered virtually to support the young women of St. Mary’s at the 33rd annual auction, called “Dare to Dream.” Guests from across the country joined the live, webcasted event for an hour and a half of entertainment, touching testimonials and bidding on packages, including a 10-day trip to Molokai, Hawaii, a sailing experience on America’s Cup yacht in San Diego and a private dinner for eight at Cellar Z at Zupan’s Market.
