2017 Gala

Providence’s annual Gala was held on Saturday, March 25th at Lakeside Golf Club in Burbank. This year’s event was attended by approximately 250 people - nearly 90 of which were current and incoming PHS parents. Guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres and complimentary martinis while perusing the cocktail auction items, which were displayed once again in the beautiful garden overlooking the golf course. After the auction closed, guests made their way inside for a performance by members of the PHS choir before dinner and a lively auction prior to dancing the rest of the evening away. A special thank you to this year’s sponsors, including Platinum Sponsor Providence St. Joseph Health; Diamond Sponsor Worthe Real Estate Group; Silver Sponsors the Walt Disney Company, the Sisters of Providence, SoCal Office Technologies, and Vancrest Construction; Table Sponsors Blue Shield of California, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Kasper (Jodi Reif Kasper ‘76), and St. Finbar Church; and Individual Sponsors - Gregg S. Britt ’84 and Master Cooling. Also, thank you to the generous individuals who donated money toward Providence’s tuition assistance program. With 44% of our students receiving needs-based financial assistance, these donations will contribute to providing a Providence education to students in need. We look forward to seeing you at next year’s Gala on April 21, 2018!
