There’s a seat with your name on it.
For more than 30 years, the Shamrock Celebration has brought the Hackett community together for one unforgettable evening. This year, as we celebrate 170 years of Catholic education in Kalamazoo, we’re saving a place for you.
The Shamrock Celebration is more than a fundraiser. It’s a night designed around the people who make Hackett possible: our families, alumni, parishes, and friends. Every ticket, bid, and gift directly shapes the experience of Hackett students, in the classroom, on the field, on stage, and in their faith.
