the Bala House
Saturday, May 18, 2013
7 – 11 pm
The Clothier Room in Wynnewood
The Bala Gala, Bala House Montessori’s annual silent and live auction, brings together our entire community for an evening of fun and entertainment. In addition, this event raises significant funds for tuition assistance, teacher enrichment, facility improvements, and other Bala House greatest needs.
This is a fun way to be involved in Bala House’s fundraising efforts as planning and preparation for this event go on throughout the year. Parents and many area businesses donate goods and services to be auctioned. Best of all, each class lovingly creates a beautiful class project. These projects are our most desired items and the biggest money-makers of the evening!

Every year our entire school community helps make the Bala Gala a huge success. Here are a few ways your family can do this:
• Turn in an auction item, ad, or sponsorship – either solicit your favorite local business or donate an item/service yourself.
• Attend the Bala Gala and invite everyone you know!
The range of possibilities is limited only by your imagination, but suggestions include: tickets, vacation homes, gift certificates to restaurants, gift baskets, tours or recreational experiences, gourmet meals, artwork, electronics, jewelry, sports memorabilia, and services.
It’s so easy! Completely fill out a Gift Donor form, attach it to the gift / gift certificate, and drop it off at the Marketing and Development Director’s office. If you do not have the item in your possession or are turning in a sponsorship or ad, just drop off the appropriate form in the Marketing and Development Director’s office. We will arrange a time to pick up the donation.
Please turn in your donations, ads, sponsorships as soon as you receive them (and PLEASE send them in no latter than April 15th.) It takes a tremendous amount of time to process these items in time for the auction.
