Hello everyone!
This is a reminder that BASH 2024 Take Flight "Men for Others Soaring to New Heights" will be at the Creighton Prep International Airport (in the Heider Center at Creighton Prep) in just 29 days on Saturday, April 20!
BASH plays a vital role in Prep’s ongoing commitment to educational excellence for 1,000 young men, helping to keep their tuition affordable. Each year, we provide $3.5 million in annual financial assistance to over half of our students and families. Bottom line, all funds raised through BASH go to support financial assistance for our students.
Please participate in as many of the following six ways as you can to help make this event a success for our deserving young men!
1. ATTEND BASH ON SATURDAY, APRIL 20
A key goal for this year's BASH is to have 800 people at the event, ready to bid in support of our students. You can help us reach that mark by purchasing an individual ticket, a table for family or a corporate table! Here is a copy of the invite that was mailed earlier this month.
Individual tickets are $150 per person ($90 tax-deductible), and young alums (class of 2003 and later) can purchase tickets at $75 per alum plus guest ($15 tax-deductible). Family tables of 10 are $1,500 and corporate tables start at $1,600. We're also happy to place you at a table if you don't have plans to fill your own. Visit our event website to register now.
2. DONATE AN AUCTION ITEM
We are still looking for great items to add to the auction. Please check our Auction Wish List, which has ideas for gift cards, gift baskets and auction underwriting.
3. PURCHASE RAFFLE TICKETS
Purchase one or more BASH raffle tickets online today via a debit card for a chance at $10,000. Your purchase can be made on our website or via Venmo. Tickets are $100, 3 for $250, 7 for $500 or 15 for $1,000.
4. SPONSOR THE EVENT
You can support Prep's mission through sponsoring BASH 2024 at the Premier Partner level. All of these levels are tax-deductible at the amounts indicated: Founder - $15,000 ($14,250 tax-deductible), Patron - $10,000 ($9,250 tax-deductible) and Trustee - $5,000 ($4,250 tax-deductible).

Corporate table sponsorships are a great way to advertise during the event and are available for 10 guests at $2,000 ($1,400 tax-deductible) or for eight guests at $1,600 ($1,120 tax-deductible). Each corporate table sponsor will receive recognition in the digital catalog, at the event and on signage at the table. You can download a PDF of the corporate table reservation form here.
5. ADVERTISE IN THE BASH CATALOG
The BASH digital catalog is full of important event information and will be made available prior to the event. It will be shared via email, social media, on Prep's website and the BASH auction site. Hundreds of Prep families, alumni from all over the world, BASH volunteers and friends in the community view the catalog. BASH 2024 is partnering with Iridian Group to design the catalog. Please consider purchasing a catalog advertisement here.
6. VOLUNTEER
We rely on hundreds of adult and student volunteers to make BASH a success! If you don't plan to attend as a guest on April 20th, please volunteer to help us in one of a number of important roles to assist in making the evening a great experience for all.
BASH is Prep's largest fundraising event of the year. With your support, we can help our students soar to great heights!
