Ignite

The Ignite Gala is St. Barnabas School’s annual premier fundraiser. It’s a fun-filled evening that includes delicious food, drinks, entertainment as well as live and silent auctions. Ignite supports the mission, vision, and initiatives of St. Barnabas School ensuring our education serves in Christian faith, service, and academic excellence as a hallmark in our community. Through past galas, we have been able to update campus security, make classroom updates, and we are in the process of creating an outdoor classroom on our beautiful and extensive campus.

Ignite Gala 2026

We are excited to announce that the 7th Annual St. Barnabas Ignite Gala will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2026!! This year’s Gala promises an enchanting evening of community, celebration, and giving back, featuring dinner, cocktails, raffles, and opportunities to bid on a wide array of live and silent auction items. Ignite is our school’s largest annual fundraiser, supporting programs and projects that directly benefit every student at St. Barnabas School.

This year, Gala proceeds will support a transformative project: the renovation of our North Lot Playground. A new fence has recently been installed thanks to funds raised at Ignite 2024, and now it’s time to provide our students with a safer, more engaging space to play and learn. Plans include replacing the mulch with zero-fall rubber flooring, installing durable turf in areas where grass struggles to grow, repaving and lining the lot, and adding fun features to enhance play for all ages. These upgrades will improve playground safety, year-round usability, and overall enjoyment, directly impacting every child’s recess experience which is a critical part of their physical, social, and emotional development.
