The 2014 CHASE Collegiate Parent’s Association, invites you to join us in supporting and attending, The CHASE Collegiate 2014 “EVERYONE’S Gala” on Saturday, April 26th in The Fulkerson Arts Center. “EVERYONE’S Gala” is a celebration of “YOU,” (Current Parents, Alumni Family and Friends). The success and very existence of CHASE Collegiate, formerly St. Margaret Mcternan School was, and still remains a true reflection of your love, commitment and passion for excellence by way of a quality education. As fellow CHASE Collegiate parents ourselves, we are asking you to help in making “EVERYONE’S Gala,” (YOUR Gala), a success by contributing in any way that you are comfortable. A contribution and/or your willingness to volunteer is just what we need to make this event a tremendous success! But most of all, purchase tickets, encourage your friends, family and co-workers to attend. Whatever the case, please JOIN US! If you are unable to attend, consider sponsoring a teacher table or a teacher sponsorship ticket. 

The proceeds from our 2014 “EVERYONE’S GALA” are being allocated to the improvements of our major campus Commons spaces. These spaces are where the Lower School Students play and Senior Speeches are presented; it’s used as a concert space for choral, band and piano students. These spaces host a significant number of speakers, groups and events throughout the year for all of the CHASE community.



A small number of very generous donors have helped lead the significant renovations now underway in the Garthwait Dining Room and Giguere Family Recital Hall… we need the collective support of you, along with the Parents’ Association and this Gala, to ensure that the unfinished portions of these spaces are able to be completed by summer. We are almost there!
