Gala Gets a Makeover and is now Newman Night Out!
We are excited to announce that our fundraising event, formerly known as Gala, has a new name, a new look, and a new attitude! Newman Night Out will be our “new” gala event. The heart of the event remains the same; focused on support of the Newman Catholic Student Center, but the event will look a bit different. Changes in format include removing the live and silent auctions to give guests more time to socialize with friends and catch the spirit of supporting the Newman Center.
Students, alumni, staff and others will be there to share their love for the center and why your financial support makes a difference every day in the lives of our University of Iowa community. Guests will be asked to give a heartfelt stewardship gift before the end of the evening in support of our Newman Center ministries.
If you have attended our event in the past, you know what a big impact our attendees, donors, and sponsors have made at past events. This spring fundraiser event traditionally funds 10-15% of our annual budget, so it is an important event for our Newman Catholic Student Center ministries. Our fundraising goal for this event is $92,000! We are recruiting sponsors and matching gift challengers to help us reach our goal.
Sponsorships- Sponsorships are a great way to not only show your support for the Newman Center, but to also advertise your business. Sponsors will be recognized in our social media, digital print as well as other publication leading up to the event, during the event, and post-event.
Matching Gift Challengers- Becoming a Matching Gift Challenger is a great way for you to show your passion for our Newman Center ministries as well as encourage and challenge others to give at the same level. Matching gift challengers will be acknowledged prior to and during the event. If you would like to be a sponsor or become a matching gift challenger , please contact Kristie Wert at kristie@newman-ic,org or call the Development office. Matching gift challengers will offer their gifts prior to the event as an encouragement to other donors.
We ask for your prayers during this transition. The event impacts so much of what we do at the center. Pray for our committee as we continue to plan, pray for sponsors to open their hearts and minds to our event, and for those presenting to be able to clearly share their love for the center.
