Save the Date! 3rd Annual Gift Card Gala / Moms HH on 9/27

Dear Raptor Moms,

You are all cordially invited to join us for the 3rd Annual Gift Card Gala on Saturday Sept. 27th, benefiting the Class of 2026 Project Graduation fundraising efforts. This event is a traditional PFLASA Great Gathering (more on that later) and as with many things at LASA, this is a pay-it-forward act—and open to moms of ALL Classes!

In order to “enter” this Gala, we are kindly asking you to bring an unused gift card (suggested value of $25 or more) as your “ticket fee”.
We will take all of these gift cards and add them to the Class of 2026 Online Auction in November.

Have unused Gift Cards laying around your house? You can donate those too! If you are going out to buy a new gift card for this event, please consider a restaurant, a store or somewhere popular that you know will sell in the auction.

Please view details and sign-up here.
