Emerald Gala
Emerald Gala 2020
On Thursday, March 12, 2020, the Administrators of Archbishop Chapelle and the Emerald Gala Committee made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Emerald Gala which was to be held two days later at Copeland Tower and Suites in Metairie. It was handled in true Chapelle fashion. Planning for the online Gala began within minutes of making the decision. Word spread quickly that online bidding would continue and prizes won would be distributed at Chapelle on Saturday night. Chapelle’s amazing Marketing and Communications Director, Shelly Melton ‘95, and full of life, multitalented Admissions Director, Emily Radcliffe ‘11, went live on Facebook the evening of March 14, 2020, showing off the prizes available for bid and thanking the wonderful sponsors. Overall, the evening was not what was originally planned, but it turned out to be a blessing for Chapelle and a true picture of the resilience of the Chapelle family.

The Gala proved a virtual platform event was not only possible, but a very positive experience for Archbishop Chapelle. It was a model of success for our students and families to follow for the online learning which occurred in the fourth quarter of the school year.
Thank you to all of the Gala committee members who worked tirelessly for the months leading up to March 14, 2020. Finally, thank you to all who tuned in to the virtual Gala and to the more than 250 individuals who participated in the fun to make Emerald Gala 2020 a success!
