What is a “gift gathering” party?
Throughout the school year parties are hosted by Central Catholic alumni, parents and friends at their homes, clubs, etc. to help provide items for the annual Viking Victory Auction. Guests are asked to voluntarily bring a gift or make a monetary donation so that a gift may be purchased. In the end, over 700 items are available for bidding at a silent and live auction.
The gift gathering parties have proven to be an excellent way for Central to acquire a vast array of wonderful items for the grandest auction in town! We hope you will help continue the tradition! The parties are also a lot of fun!
