Dear OLL Families and Friends,
We are thrilled to announce the 50th Annual Our Lady of the Lake School Auction, taking place on February 10, 2024. Prepare to "Boot Scoot & Boogie" the night away as we celebrate and raise funds as a community. This year’s theme is the “Boots and Bling Ball”, a western experience. Join us at the Oregon Golf Club for an evening filled with excitement. Evening line-up includes a silent auction and happy hour, followed by a formal sit-down dinner and live auction.
Our PreK-8th grade school, is comprised of over 280 students, and relies entirely on the support from our parish, tuition payments, and Parent Association fundraising efforts.
Our school’s mission is to provide a high-quality Catholic education to our children. The OLL Parent Associations fundraising efforts help achieve this mission. This year that requirement has increased to $250,000. The School Auction is our most critical fundraising source to meet this goal. The funds we raise go directly to the schools operating budget and helps support our tuition assistance program, which helps give all families the gift of a catholic education.
