Proceeds from the Gala support Christian Academy’s Annual Fund, which is the highest fundraising priority for the school system because tuition and fees do not cover the cost to educate students. Every gift to the Fund provides an immediate impact to students and teachers through technology integration, teacher salaries, tuition assistance, athletics, fine arts, security upgrades and staff benefits.
