Ignite Gala 2026: Havana Nights

Get ready to step into a night filled with vibrant energy, tropical flair, and the true spirit of community! Over 300 guests will come together to enjoy dinner, cocktails, raffles, and exciting live and silent auctions, all in celebration and support of St. Barnabas School.

The Ignite Gala is our school’s largest annual fundraiser, fueling programs and projects that directly benefit every student.

This year, proceeds will support a transformative initiative: the renovation of our North Lot Playground. Thanks to funds raised at Ignite 2024, a new fence is already in place. Now, we’re ready to take the next step, creating a safer, more engaging, and inclusive play space for all students. Plans include:

• Replacing mulch with zero-fall rubber flooring

• Installing durable turf in high-traffic areas

• Repaving and relining the lot

• Adding new features to enhance play for every age

These upgrades will improve safety, year-round usability, and overall enjoyment, enriching a part of every child’s day that supports their physical, social, and emotional development.

Join us for an unforgettable evening, where fun meets purpose, and every bid and toast helps bring our playground to life!
