2024 mchs light the way gala

Put on your Lion’s team colors and get ready to score big for the most spectacular event of the year – the 2024 MCHS Light the Way Gala – right on the hallowed grounds of Ford Field! This isn’t just any gala—it’s a gala with a goal! (Pun intended.) We’ve taken over the Lions stadium to bring you an evening to remember. Imagine this: live performances, gourmet stadium bites, and a dance floor with more energy than a football field. It’s going to be legendary.

• VIP Access: Step into the locker room and snap a selfie on the field where legends play.

• Exclusive Entertainment: Surprise performances that’ll have you cheering louder than a last-minute touchdown.

• Epic Live and Silent Auction: Win items so unique and exclusive.

• Support a Great Cause: All proceeds go to MCHS Family of Services, so you can feel good while having a blast.

DRESS CODE:

Stadium Chic! Think red carpet meets the 50-yard line. Suits and sequined dresses are welcome, and we encourage you to pair them with sneakers. Let’s pay homage to the home team and sport team colors (not required.)

While there’s no bag policy in effect for our event, all attendees will need to pass a standard security check to enter Ford Field.

***Note: Flat shoes are required for field access while on stadium tours.
