The Ursuline gala

Thank you to all who supported Ursuline's Got Talent on December 12, 2021!
We are grateful to our sponsors, donors, viewers, and of course, our talented student contributors!  We are also thankful for our parent volunteers who helped deliver packages to our sponsors on the morning of the event.  This amazing community effort brought in more than $100,000 for Ursuline Academy.  Thank you to our host Caitlin Burchill '08, and alumnae commentators Shannon Dwyer Connery '04, Lilly Higgins '16, and Maura McCarthy Polles '86.

Ursuline Gala History

For the first eleven years, the Ursuline gala was celebrated as the "Brescia Ball."  In 2019, we rebranded our event as "An Evening for Ursuline" and continued our annual tradition with a joyful community event on campus in the Reynolds Center.  In 2020 and again in 2021, the challenges of the pandemic led us to host two consecutive virtual galas, themed as "Ursuline's Got Talent."  Although the venue and format has changed over the years, each event inspires us and reminds us how lucky we are to have such a supportive community. We gratefully acknowledge the past gala honorees for their dedication to the motto of Serviam and Ursuline Academy’s mission, and remember the success of our past events.
