The 2025 SUA Palooza was a big success! The theme of this year's major fundraiser, Where Dreams Become Reality, will help SUA make dreams come true for every student by supporting costs not covered by tuition.
The venue looked like a dream. Guests enjoyed dinner by the bite, raffles, a premier silent auction, and live music and dancing featuring the band 2nd Wind.
Congratulations to the winners of our raffles:
Blackstone Griddle on the Go: Tim and Lisa Schroeder
Bourbon Basket: Eric and Mary Pettway
Louis Vuitton Bag: Kevin and Sama Gade
Golden Ticket: Nik and Dana Kostopoluos
Grand Raffle: Amy Ealy mother of Devin Ealy '28
David Yurman: Graham and Marylynn Kalbli
