Comet Gala History

In 2023, James Lick High School’s principal, teachers, staff, and alumni launched the first-ever Comet Gala, a night of celebration, connection, and giving, to support student athletics and activities.

That inaugural Comet Gala brought together 82 attendees and raised $7,208.42 through sponsorships, donations, and community support.

Building on that momentum, our second Comet Gala: A Night Among the Stars in 2024 welcomed 124 guests and raised an incredible $20,328.46, thanks to in-person donations, generous sponsors, and our first Platinum-level sponsor, Larry Gonzales.

Each year, the Comet Gala grows — not just in dollars raised, but in impact for our students.

We can't wait to see what we accomplish together in 2025!

Supporting Athletics and Activities at James Lick

Since 2023, funds raised through the Comet Gala, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, staff, alumni, parents, and community, have directly supported James Lick athletics and student activities.

ASB & Leadership student-led lunchtime activities
2024 Homecoming Dance decorations

Medical & safety supplies for girls’ soccer
New helmets, catcher’s gear, and game balls for our softball team
New singlets and warm-up uniforms for the wrestling team

Every dollar raised helps create a more enriching, safe, and spirited experience for our students.
