Gala is OCSA’s largest, most prestigious fundraiser of the year, raising nearly $1 million annually. All proceeds from the event contribute toward the more than $8 million needed annually to continue providing our tuition-free, donation-dependent arts and academic programs – along with the world-class master teachers, unique performance opportunities, and unparalleled learning experiences our students deserve.
