A Winter Wonderland of Giving
This February, Holy Cross Catholic School invites you to step into a magical winter wonderland where every ticket purchased, every raffle entry, and every donated item directly fuels the dreams and education of our students.
Celebration – Let it Glow is more than a gala. It's a gathering of our community united in mission. And we're thrilled to share three spectacular ways you can participate, give back, and maybe even win big.
A Celtic Journey: Ireland for Two (6 nights)
Picture yourself sipping a personalized pint at the legendary Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. Feel the wind at the dramatic Cliffs of Moher. Ferry to the charming windswept isle of Inis Oírr, ride a traditional jaunting cart through the storybook Gap of Dunloe, and unwind in handpicked boutique hotels—including a regal final night at the majestic Fitzpatrick Castle.
This isn't just a trip. It's an Irish adventure with daily breakfasts, expert Winspire concierge service orchestrating every detail, and a blend of culture, scenery, and authentic warmth woven into every moment.
Churchill Downs VIP: A Day at the Races for Two (3 nights)
Step into the glamour, electricity, and storied tradition of thoroughbred racing. From your perch in the historic Stakes Room—complete with Chef's Table Buffet and sweeping views of the track and paddock—you'll feel the heartbeat of race day like never before.
But here's the thrill: A race will be named in your honor. You'll visit the Paddock for the saddling ceremony, head to the Winner's Circle, present the trophy, and take home a commemorative photo and duplicate cup as proof of your champion moment.
Wild Wyoming: Yellowstone for Two (3 nights)
Base yourself at Jackson Hole's charming Alpine House, where cozy boutique comforts meet mountain-town ease. Then venture into Yellowstone on a full-day guided tour led by an expert naturalist guide who brings the park's greatest hits to life.
Watch Old Faithful's punctual eruptions. Marvel at the misty falls of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Spot abundant wildlife—bison, elk, and more. All while your guide handles the details and you soak in the scenery. Daily breakfast and a $100 AmEx gift card for park fees keep your adventure effortless and unforgettable.
One Year of Tuition: Invest in What Matters Most
For families seeking transformational impact, choose a full year of tuition at Holy Cross Catholic School. Support our students and community while investing directly in your child's Catholic education and the mission you hold dear.
