Special Events

Grandparents Day, the Blue and Gold Gala, the Warrior Classic Golf Tournament, the Coming Home alumni event or any of our other special functions and events only succeed with the strong support of parents, alumni, and friends of Lincoln Lutheran. The volunteer efforts, donations, and participation of all of these groups are vital parts of everything we do.

Blue and Gold Gala

The 2024 Lincoln Lutheran Blue and Gold's theme was “Through the Years”, and was held at Embassy Suites March 15. This generationally themed event took attendees through Lincoln Lutheran’s past, present, and future as they enjoyed food, fellowship, and fundraising.

“The annual Lincoln Lutheran gala is always a great time to come together to celebrate and support Christian education, while having fun with good friends. This year’s event was even bigger and better than ever, and we were blessed to be a part of it”

Matt and Anne Blankenbiller.

Scott Ernstmeyer presented the 2024 Shield of Faith Award to Rev. Charles and Brenda Schmidt and the 2024 Founder's Award to Lyle and Sheila Ziems. These two awards recognize the many ways that both couples have enhanced the ministry of Lincoln Lutheran and Lutheran Education.

“I have attended the Gala for five years. I am amazed and humbled each year as over 400 guests attend and make a difference in the lives of young men and women today, tomorrow and forever. The event is an evening of fun and fellowship for the Warrior family in generous support for Christ-centered education and scholarships.”
