Who can attend the event?
This event is open to the entire Gonzaga Prep community and beyond! Current parents, alumni, valued community sponsors and partners, teachers, staff, and anyone who believes in supporting the transformative education provided by Gonzaga Prep are warmly invited. Please note that the Blue and White Ball is a 21+ event.
