Join us for SMA's Annual Spring Fundraising Gala!

You are cordially invited to Stella Maris Academy's annual dinner auction, the largest fundraising event of the year. SMA is the only classical Pre-K through 8 Catholic school within the San Francisco Archdiocese. Located in the Richmond District in the heart of the city, SMA serves a motivated, diverse, and rapidly increasing student body. Thanks to the generosity of individuals and businesses we have been able to fund student scholarships, extra-curricular activities and much-needed renovations to our historic school building. Your donations are essential to our success! Thank you in advance, we hope to see you there!
