Post-Gala Celebration at SoHo Downtown
Disco Fever is a joyful opportunity to come together as a
school community - celebrating connection, generosity, and the
Christ-centered mission that guides Saint Michael Lutheran School.
We gather for more than a night of celebration, we gather for our students.
Each ticket purchased and each bid placed at the auction helps equip every learning space on our campus with modern interactive boards, giving teachers the tools they need and students the engaging, hands-on learning experiences they deserve.
This evening is about coming together to invest in our children - supporting curiosity, creativity, and a brighter future for every student at SMLS.
Get ready to enjoy an evening filled with fun, connection,
and a few unexpected disco-inspired twists along the way.
✨ A transformed space filled with shimmer, light, and modern disco glamour
✨ A lively, high-energy atmosphere designed to be shared with friends, laughter, and celebration
✨ Interactive moments throughout the night, including fun raffles, exciting prizes, and playful surprises that keep the energy going from start to finish

Whether you’re sipping a groovy cocktail, keeping an eye on that must-have auction item, or celebrating a big win, Jason keeps the energy up and the party moving.
Master of Ceremonies: Amy Radel
