Lake Villa, IL - September 20, 2016 - Prince of Peace Catholic School, a nationally recognized Blue Ribbon school, announces that its annual Pizzazz auction and dinner dance gala is open to community members and local businesses as well as its parishioners, parents/relatives and neighbors (21 years and older).

This year's fundraising event, The Great Gatsby Gala, will be held on Saturday, November 12, 2016 at Maravela's Banquet Hall in Fox Lake.

"At Prince of Peace, we value community and appreciate all that ours does for us, so we are pleased to open our event to the local people and businesses," said Lauren Risley, Chair of The Great Gatsby Gala. "Our Great Gatsby theme is attracting a lot of attention. We are setting up our wine pull in bootlegged crates and encouraging attendees to dress for the 1920s. Everyone who attends is sure to have a great time!"
