Save the date for Casino Night
​Saturday, November 4, 2023

Our first annual Casino Night will be Saturday, November 4 at St. Mary School DeKalb. The event is an adult-only fundraiser to support St. Mary School of DeKalb. Our event includes casino games, raffles, silent auction, dinner, and dancing. This event is the largest fundraiser annually for our school and this year our target is to raise a total of $50,000.
The funds we raise through this event with the support of the community, school, parish, and friends are critical to keep tuition affordable and allow us to offer a high-quality academic curriculum and equipment to all students from preschool through 8th grade. Thanks to our past sponsors, we've been able to offer not only critical subjects like science, social studies, math, reading and writing but also continue to teach Spanish, music, art, physical education and S.T.E.M.

Tickets will go on sale soon!

Other ways you can help:
  • You can become a sponsor of the event to help offset the expenses
  • Donate an item or gift card to our silent or live auction
  • Participate in our silent auction even from home
  • ​Volunteer to help on the committee!

Donate an item to our silent or live auction

Our auction team is hard at work, soliciting for items for the silent auction.  If you have any new, unopened items you would like to donate to our event you can bring them to the school office (210 Gurler Rd. DeKalb, IL 60115) any time.

We will also gladly take any unused gift cards that you have laying around or bottles of wine/liquor that you do not want.
If you need help deciding on something to donate, we created an Amazon Wishlist that you can purchase directly from and items will automatically ship straight to school to make giving extra easy!
​
All donations are tax deductible - please include a gift message so we know who to thank!
If you have questions or want to help us solicit donations please email us at events@stmaryschooldekalb.com.
