A Night of Impact
Over the years Mack’s Annual Gala has raised nearly two million dollars to fund campus enhancements, student scholarships, operational improvements like solar panels, and the Mack van fleet, to name a few. Last year we raised more than $175,000 towards teacher professional development and benefits. This year with your help, we hope to do even more.
Mack finds itself at a watershed moment. With COVID in the rearview, approval from Boulder County for campus expansion, and a new Head of School joining us in July, Mack is poised to actualize its potential and increase its reach. At the Gala, let's celebrate these achievements and show our support for this next chapter. Every memory made, every bid placed, every friendship sealed, makes our community stronger and contributes to Mack's bright future. Thank you for your engagement in Mack.
Join us at the Boulder JCC: 6007 Oregon Ave, Boulder, CO 80303
Drink, Dine, Play & Dance the Night Away
Revel in the open bar during the entire event, featuring two signature cocktails, mocktails, red & white wine, beers, and other non-alcoholic beverages. Enjoy dinner from A Spice of Life Catering. There's something for everyone: meat-lovers, vegetarians, as well as dairy-free and gluten-free options. Groove in each other's company and take a chance in our Gala Games. Lastly, it wouldn't be a disco without dancing! Disco down or do the hustle, close out the night with a spin on the dance floor. Don't forget child pick-up at Mack at 10pm!
