Great Gatherings
What are Great Gatherings?
Great Gatherings are parties, activities or even clubs, hosted and paid for by Kilgour families and staff. They are a way to build and strengthen our Kilgour community while raising money for our school. Big or small. For couples, just moms, or just dads. For kids, and even whole families. There’s a Great Gathering for everyone! And 100% of ticket sales go back to Kilgour. Each year on average, our Great Gatherings parties and events raise $20,000 for the PTA, and is one of our BIGGEST fundraising contributors.
Our goal is to have at least one parent, one family and two teacher parties hosted at each grade level each year. Parent and family events may be limited to a single grade or open to all.
Want to attend a Great Gathering?
The official sales period for the school year begins at Silent Auction (Nov.15). We will sell about 20-30 parties and they sell out fast! But be sure to keep your eyes open for additional ticket purchasing opportunities post-auction. And come back to this page to see the list of available Great Gatherings which will be posted once they are booked!
Interested in hosting?
Great! We need you! So gather up some hosts, pick your idea and preferred date, and fill out the planning form. The GG team will set up the signup through Eventbrite, promote your party, and sell the tickets so you can concentrate on the fun stuff! In order to have your party available for promotion/sales at Silent Auction, forms are due by November 2.
