Clothes sponsored by Dillard's

The 2026 Villa Amalfi: A Night on the Coast Auction Fashion Show was an extraordinary evening celebrating the spirit, generosity, and strength of the Notre Dame Prep community. Guests gathered for a night filled with fashion, fellowship, excitement, and philanthropy; all in support of the mission of NDP.

The event welcomed prospective families, incoming freshmen, current students, parents, alumni, legacy families, faculty, staff, and friends of the school, creating an atmosphere that reflected the deep connection shared throughout the NDP community. From the stunning runway presentations to the energy of the live auction, every moment of the evening highlighted what makes Notre Dame Prep so special.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, this year’s Auction Fashion Show raised a record-breaking $1.3 million for Notre Dame Prep, making it one of the most successful events in school history. A major highlight of the evening was the Fund the Vision portion of the program, which raised an unprecedented $681,000 to support future campus growth and expansion projects that will benefit generations of Saints to come.

As a nonprofit Catholic school, the support raised through the Auction Fashion Show plays a vital role in strengthening the NDP Fund and enhancing the student experience through faith formation, academics, arts, athletics, campus ministry, and student life programs. The generosity shown throughout the evening is a powerful reflection of the community’s belief in the mission of Notre Dame Prep and its commitment to forming young men and women in the Catholic faith and life of discipleship.

During the evening, Notre Dame Prep was also proud to honor Debbi and Dwayne Douglas as the 2026 Patron Saint Award recipients. The Patron Saint Award is the school’s highest honor and recognizes individuals whose extraordinary contributions of time, talent, and treasure have made a lasting impact on the NDP community. Debbi and Dwayne’s faithful leadership, generosity, and unwavering support of Notre Dame Prep have helped strengthen the school and inspire countless students and families.

Notre Dame Prep extends heartfelt gratitude to all of the sponsors, donors, volunteers, families, and community members who helped make the evening such a tremendous success. Special thanks to our presenting sponsor, Wilde Wealth Management, along with Van Buick GMC, BNI, The Gallagher Family, The Kaplan Family, The Mandas Gianakakos Family, Gough Surgical Adult Orthopedics, and the many additional sponsors and supporters whose generosity made the event possible.

The success of Villa Amalfi: A Night on the Coast is a testament to the extraordinary spirit of the NDP community. Thank you for your continued support, generosity, and commitment to the future of Notre Dame Prep.
