FRIENDS OF GEHLEN CATHOLIC BALL

Gehlen Catholic had what they described an “unforgettable” night Saturday.  A Facebook post gave results from the 2025 Friends of Gehlen Catholic Ball.  The theme for the event was “A Run for the Roses, Kentucky Derby Style!”

The fundraiser brought in a grand total of 338,516 dollars.  The total raised at the ball was 284,816 dollars.  53,700 dollars came from a Fund-a-Cause promotion.

Several individuals were honored at the ball Saturday.  They included Co-Teachers of the year: Mrs. Patty Hatting & Mrs. Cheri Herbst.  The Spirit of Peter and Catherine Gehlen Award was presented to Jeff & Jackie Arens.  Student speakers Saturday were Addison Konz & Cole McCarty.  The event, held at the Le Mars Convention Center, featured a dinner, a silent and live auction, and entertainment.
