Denim and Diamonds Gala
 
 
The Denim and Diamonds Gala is held each Spring and is the largest fundraiser for the Van Alstyne Education Foundation.  Guests enjoy a night of dinner, drinks, entertainment, and a silent and live auction.
 
Mark your calendars!  The 2018 Denim and Diamonds Gala is scheduled for Friday, March 23 at The Springs Event Center in Anna, Texas.
 

The 5th Annual Denim and Diamonds Gala will now take place on a Friday!  Kick off the weekend with us at Heritage Springs Event Center in Van Alstyne on Friday, March 23, 2018.  Last year’s Gala was the most successful to date, raising about $84,000!   The 2018 Gala will feature our annual silent and live auctions with a bit of a twist.  We will be introducing mobile and online bidding for our silent auction items- so that you can bid on your favorite items right from your table at the Gala or even from the comfort of your own home.  We will also debut a more efficient check out process, along with easier ways to play your favorite Gala games.  We hope you decide to join us for what is sure to be a memorable night.  

 

Tickets and sponsorships available NOW! CLICK HERE for the Gala webpage.
