Start Your Engines…IC Catholic Prep Knight of Jewels Gala Is Almost Here

With Spring finally in the air, IC Catholic Prep is looking to put the long winter behind by making their largest fundraising event of the year a truly refreshing and unique experience.  The theme of the 44th Annual Knight of Jewels Gala is an “Unforgettable Ride”, and that is exactly what attendees should expect. 

Beginning with the venue, Priester Aviation will provide the perfect backdrop to showcase this year’s experience.  Guests will mix and mingle in the three expansive private hangars, which will be filled with private jets, gorgeous yachts, modern sports cars, and impressive Harleys.  Attendees will be able to board the jets and boat cruisers and get a hands on look at the automobiles and motorcycles to truly enhance the luxurious feel of the night.

Knight of Jewels guests will be treated to elegant and delicious edibles prepared by Chef Daniel Vogel from the premier area caterer, Food Obsession.  In addition to live music by local band Who’s This Mary, attendees will enjoy a unique performance by world renowned artist, Ellliot From.  In From’s Artbeat Live show, he creates one-of-a-kind portraits in minutes to the beat of the music.  He has been featured on WGN morning news and performed at Soldier Field, Navy Pier, House of Blues, and many other well known places.

The Knight of Jewels Gala is ICCP’s largest fund raiser, with all proceeds going towards financial aid/scholarships for current and incoming ICCP students.  This annual event allows alumni, family, and friends an opportunity to enjoy a fabulous evening while helping ICCP raise funds to benefit their students. This year’s silent auction is filled with amazing packages, and electronic bidding from your smart phone or tablet will be a breeze thanks to our student and Gala helpers who will be available for anyone that needs assistance throughout the evening. In addition, the LIVE Auction will feature five out of this world trips aboard a private jet to various destinations including a golf excursion for 18 and a Ladies Shopping weekend for 4 to New York City. Other vacation packages include a stay at Cabo San Lucas Resort - Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach, spacious vacation homes and more!

The night will also feature the brand new Crown Jewel Raffle where one lucky winner will receive either $2500 in cash or a semester of free tuition at ICCP!  Only 100 tickets will be sold at $100 per ticket to help make the odds of winning better than most raffles.

Event tickets and raffle tickets can be purchased on-line through the IC Catholic Prep website at www.ICCatholicPrep.org, and clicking on the Knight of Jewels button on the bottom of the home page.  For more information on the event, please visit the website or call Carolyn Hansen at 630.530.3494.
