One night on Columbus Celebration Weekend, CCF invites its Members and their guests to attend the annual Gala which has spotlighted celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Cindy Crawford, and Andrea Bocelli. The event is black-tie and features a silent auction, raffle, music, dancing, and delicious food. A ceremonial wreath laying at Columbus Circle and a Columbus Day Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral complement Celebration Weekend.  Proceeds from the weekend benefit CCF’s scholarship program making it the most important weekend of the year.
