St. Mary's
Red Carpet Gala
The 2026 St. Mary’s Red Carpet Gala was a tremendous success, raising funds that will directly support students, programs, and the future of St. Mary's. The evening was made possible by the incredible support of our sponsors, generous donors, dedicated volunteers, and enthusiastic bidders. Together, we raised over $190,000 to support the future of St. Mary’s and its mission.Thank you to all who came together for our St. Mary's community in such a meaningful and generous way!
A highlight of the evening was the introduction of two special honors at this year’s Gala:
the Spirit of St. Mary’s Award and the Distinguished Alumni Award.
The Distinguished Alumni Award was presented to Pat Drueke, Class of 1962, in recognition of her example of faith and her lasting presence and support of St. Mary’s School.

Her commitment reflects a lifelong dedication to faith, education, and service, and her influence continues to be felt by students, families, and faculty alike.
The Spirit of St. Mary’s Award was presented to Jim and Pat Gokie, Class of 1967, recognizing their compassion for others, generosity of spirit, and unwavering commitment to creating a meaningful and lasting impact on St. Mary's Catholic School.Through years of steady dedication, they have helped shape and strengthen this community in ways that will last for generations.
