About

The Blue & White Ball
Tickets are limited. Early purchase is encouraged.
Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Blue and White Ball, Gonzaga Prep’s premier gala and largest fundraiser of the year. This event brings together parents, alumni, community partners, faculty, and friends of Prep for a night of celebration, connection, and impact.
Hosted at the stunning Historic Davenport Hotel we join with a shared belief in the power of education and the transformative impact of Gonzaga Prep.
This is a night to dress up, gather with the Gonzaga Prep community, enjoy incredible food and entertainment, and take part in generously supporting the mission of Prep.
Why We Gather
The Blue & White Ball supports Gonzaga Prep’s Annual Fund — a vital source of support for academic programs, student opportunities, and tuition assistance.
Throughout the evening, guests are invited to raise their paddles in support of a Jesuit education rooted in Gospel values, ensuring excellence and opportunity remain accessible for students today and for generations to come.
An Evening Led by Those Who Believe in Prep
This year’s Blue & White Ball will be led by two members of the Prep community who are deeply invested in the mission of the school:
- Hayley Guenthner, current Prep parent and anchor at NonStop Local KHQ, will serve as emcee
- Tom Sherry, past Prep parent to two Gonzaga Prep alumni (Classes of 2008 and 2012), will serve as auctioneer
Their leadership reflects a shared belief that forming students of character and expanding opportunity is work worth supporting.
Auction, Raffle, and Ways to Participate
The evening will also feature a live auction with exclusive experiences, along with a raffle offering highly sought-after prizes. Raffle tickets will be available both the night of the event and in the weeks leading up to the Ball, allowing participation even for those unable to attend.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Event sponsorships are our greatest need and play a vital role in underwriting the cost of the evening, allowing more of the funds raised to go directly to our students and mission. Sponsorship opportunities include support for the venue, catering, program elements, or sponsoring a ticket for a dedicated Prep teacher or staff member.
Sponsorship is a meaningful way to lead, give generously, and be part of what makes this night possible.
