Questions
Know before you go
Everything guests, sponsors, and volunteers tend to ask. Can't find your answer? Write to us and we'll add it here.
Why does the Mothers Club hold a gala?
The Gonzaga Mothers Club Gala brings our community together in celebration of Gonzaga’s mission. As the school’s largest fundraiser, it supports scholarships, programs, and opportunities that help Eagles reach new heights. Together, we help keep a Gonzaga education accessible to deserving young men.
Where does my donation go?
Gala proceeds enable the Mothers Club to make the largest gift to the Gonzaga Annual Fund, which supports financial aid and enriches Gonzaga students' experience.
What is OneCause?
OneCause is the secure ticketing and auction platform we use. When you click Buy Tickets or Sponsor, you'll finish your purchase there. Bidding on gala night also happens on your phone through OneCause.
What should I wear?
Black Tie Optional. Evening or cocktail attire is encouraged. Think winter mountain lodge: elegant, festive, and ready for the dance floor.
Is my ticket or donation tax-deductible?
Donations and the portion of your ticket above fair-market value are deductible to the extent allowed by law. Your OneCause receipt will show the amount.
Can I support the gala without attending?
Yes. Sponsorships, program ads, auction donations, and direct gifts are all welcome, and you can bid in the online silent auction from anywhere.
Where do I park?
Complimentary parking is available in the school parking garage off Eye St as space permits. Rideshare drop-off is at the Eye Street gate.
How do I volunteer?
