A little insight into the evening;
We will kick start the evening with a cocktail upon arrival (Included in your ticket price).
On the way through to the balcony to catch the evening sunset over the harbour, stop by the “Silent Auction Items” which will be going live online THIS FRIDAY OCTOBER 10TH.
Canapes will flow as you Mix and mingle with parents from the Kohimarama school community.
Call for Dinner by our MC Aaron Ward, An actor with a long standing presence in the entertainment industry, and an award winning background in local and international wine sales – and now he’s back doing what he loves and support the Kohimarama Bi Annual Gala!
Enjoy a family style meal with those around your table. Don’t worry if you don’t know anyone else going. Please just note your year group when booking and we can allocate you a seat next to others in the same boat!
The LIVE AUCTION will then kick off at 8pm. Run by a professional auctioneer, Aaron Davis! Yes another Aaron! The LIVE AUCTION will have 8 exclusive items which you will only access on the evening. These are a mixture of – Adventurous sporting activities – Ladies weekend away – Family friendly experiences. GRAB YOUR TICKET to gain access to these amazing items.
Once the auction concludes, we will be served our petit fours which you can enjoy at leisure while you get your dancing shoes on and our Band for the evening takes stage The Dukes of Hammersmith. Lead by one of our own, a dad at Kohimarama school, come and support, as Kynan takes the stage with his band members.
The evening will then conclude when you feel ready to hang up your dancing shoes and emptied your bank account!
We hope to see you there. Its once every 2 years! Its worth supporting.
GALA AUCTION
This year we will be running 2 different types of Auctions.
Silent Auction:
A silent Auction will be sent out to the school via Whats App and is 100% online only. This will stay live until October 22nd. We have over 51 individual items.
During the evening of the gala, these items will be accessible via QR code at the venue also.
Be sure to keep an eye out for the Silent Auction link and secure yourself some amazing “Pre Christmas” items.
Live Auction:
On the evening, there will be 8 exclusive auction items on offer. You have to secure a ticket to the gala in order to have access to these items.
In the days running into the gala, there will be details provided on what these items may be so that you have time to buddy up as a group or call the bank 😉
REVENUE ALLOCATION
The fundraising generated by this Gala will be allocated to a “Major” project for the school. Unlike any of the other fundraising the PTA do, the GALA fundraises with a focus on “The Bigger Picture!”.
This year we are working towards fundraising for improvements to our top court. This has to go through a process with council as to what may be allowed but it will offer the students/ Our children an area which will be accessible rain, hail or shine.
Unfortunately given the size of this plan, it is in the early stages and not fully clear yet so we haven’t been able to shout it from the roof tops.
