CELEBRATING 18 WONDERFUL YEARS OF GALA

Christ Lutheran School is thrilled to host our 18th annual gala—and for the very first time, it will be held right here on campus! The Gala is a benefit dinner with both live and silent auctions that is a significant fundraiser for our school.

We look forward to an evening of fun and fellowship as we raise funds for the benefit of our students. Partner with us as we shape and equip our community’s future Christian leaders.

Vandemark Memorial Turkey Trot

What is the Turkey Trot?
It is the CLS annual jog-a-thon.  The Turkey Trot is a fun and healthy way for our students to raise money for their school.  Every CLS student will walk or jog for 30 minutes as part of the jog-a-thon.

What does the fund-raising support?
The funds raised in the Vandemark Memorial Turkey Trot will be allocated to enhance the school budget, with our targeted fundraising goal of $18,000.  In addition, we are tithing our monies raised up to our fundraising goal and sending them to a chosen partner ministry.  This year’s partner ministry for the Turkey Trot is Kansas City’s City Union Mission, who is committed to sharing the gospel and meeting the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of men, women, and children who are poor or homeless.   Any funds collected exceeding our intended fundraising target of $18,000 will be earmarked for the acquisition of a new science curriculum. Our objective is to procure textbooks that align with a biblical perspective while upholding the academic rigor characteristic of our science classes at CLS.
