Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Break out your masks, don your beads, and let the good times roll at Mardi Gras Masquerade, our parent-only Bala Gala fundraiser, happening on May 2nd. Step into a night of Big Easy–style fun featuring live music, savory bites, and beer and wine flowing like Bourbon Street. Try your luck and let the beads fly as you bid in our silent and live auctions.
All proceeds will help us raise the roof (and the fun!) with:
- New playground favorites like balls, hula hoops, sand toys, and a new privacy screen for the Conshohocken State Road fence.
- An enhanced Parent Education Workshop Series for the 2026–27 school year
- Classroom kitchenette improvements.
So mask up, grab your krewe, and pass a good time while supporting our community. This is one celebration you won’t want to let roll by!
Please consider attending the Gala, donating goods or services to the event, advertising in our auction catalog, or purchasing a sponsorship. Your support not only helps with our fundraising efforts but builds brand recognition and loyalty among the nearly 100 families and friends who will attend the Bala Gala. All donations are tax-deductible.
