Spring Gala

 

Instituted in 1997, the Annual Spring Gala has been a fundraising event which University and community supporters await each year. On a given Saturday, the University of Louisiana Alumni Association hosts the Annual Spring Gala, our only fundraising event, on the grounds of the beautiful Alumni Center. The evening is one of the highlights of the year for us. The funds generated from the Spring Gala go towards the continued maintenance and upkeep of the Alumni Center, one of the "gems of the University."


Alcide and Marc Judice, the founders of Judice Inn.

The UL Alumni Association is fortunate to honor The Judice Inn Families as our 2010 Spring Gala honorees. The celebration is scheduled for Saturday, April 17th from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and will be held on the grounds of the UL Alumni Center. Alcide and Pearl Judice and Marc and Gladys Judice and their descendants will be honored for their total dedication and faithful support of the University and our community.

-2010 Spring Gala Presenting Sponsor-

The Spring Gala offers fine food, entertainment and both silent and live auctions that will include a variety of attractive offerings including original artwork, unique gift assortments, travel opportunities and Ragin' Cajuns merchandise. Robbie Bush, president-elect of the UL Lafayette Alumni Association, serves as chair of the Spring Gala and Celeste Rushing, Alumni Council member, serves as Spring Gala auction chair.

Tickets are $200 per couple or $100 per individual. Corporate sponsor tables may be purchased for $5,000 and patron sponsor tables are available for $2,000. Cox Communications has generously partnered with us again to be the 2010 Alumni Platinum Sponsor. Proceeds from the evening are entirely dedicated to maintain and make improvements of the landmark Alumni Center, a building that we are proud to have as a focal point of the University.
