Pioneer Expedition Gala a smashing success!

Trixie Delight hit the stage to put a cap on a fabulous evening at this year's Pioneer Expedition Gala.

On February 1, 2025, we celebrated our 47th annual Pioneer Expedition Gala at Ameristar Casino. The night was a smashing success! We welcomed 350 guests and raised just over $53,000 from the live auction, silent auction, and raffles. Trixie Delight kept the party going on the dance floor after the live auction wrapped up. A special thank you to Jack Borgmeyer ’97, who was our emcee and auctioneer for the evening. His energy was electric!

We surpassed our Fund Our Future Fund-A-Need goal of $100,000, raising just over $158,000 for tuition assistance and family scholarships. These funds will help Duchesne open our doors to more families who wish to provide their child/ren with a Catholic education in the Pioneer tradition.

We are so thankful to our donors, sponsors, and guests. We could not have had such a successful event without your support. A special thank you to our Trailblazer sponsors: Alarm24, Arch Material Handling, and World Wide Technology; our Pioneer Sponsors: Carrollton Bank and Hollander Legal Estate Planning; and our Royal Blue Sponsors: Archdiocese of St. Louis, Blitz Bardgett & Deutsch, LC, Burkemper Family Partnership, Hoffmann Brothers, and Liston Design Build.

Save the date for next year’s Pioneer Expedition Gala! – January 31, 2026, at Ameristar Casino.
