This year marked the 11th Annual Celebration of Light Gala, the region's signature annual event to celebrate and support Catholic schools. On February 1, 2013, it brought the community together to honor the achievements of its schools and contribute to their continuing success.

This year's event was a tremendous success, with the preliminary tally indicating a record-breaking $1,644,000 raised. The event has become one of the largest fundraising events in the state and one of the largest Catholic fundraising events in the nation!

Supporters of Catholic education enjoy a festive evening at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel. This year over 1,200 guests filled the ballroom and were inspired by the program, including speeches by Fulcrum's Champions of Catholic Education and the presentation of the Archbishop's Awards.
