Gala

Our community is a generous one, as witnessed at our annual gala. Every gala offers guests the opportunity to engage in and help realize the vision God has for Maranatha and its students. Guests also enjoy great company, auctions, delicious food, and much more.

To get a glimpse of the greatest community event of the year, take a look at the video below from last year's Rock The Gala!

Fun was Blooming at the 2024 Gala 

The 2024 Maranatha Gala embraced a delightful garden party theme, hosted at Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens. The venue was transformed into a stunning garden-inspired space with floral decorations, creating a vibrant atmosphere for the evening. Nearly 200 guests arrived in their garden party attire, enjoying a fun night filled with delicious food, great company, and successful fundraising. The gala raised over $170,000 for a new and improved sound system for our gym and bolstered our financial aid.

A big thank you to all the sponsors, volunteers, students, and staff who helped make this event a success. 

"Yachtsa Fun" at the 2023 Gala 

The 2023 Maranatha Gala charted a new course, hosting the big event at Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens. The new setting featured a beautiful banquet hall with river views and was perfect for the Yacht Cruise theme. Nearly 200 Guests came dressed in their sailing best and were treated to a fun night of great food, fellowship, and fundraising. The gala raised over $180,000 for new carpet on the first and second floors, new furniture for some classrooms, the Mall Hall, and the Learning Lane. Plus, we were able to add new equipment to the playground, with even more on order and scheduled to be installed in the spring.

Thank you to all the sponsors, volunteers, students, and staff who made this event possible.
