About the Heart of Gold Auction
Mission: The Heart of Gold Auction is one of the many ways we enchance our mission to form joyful disciples through academic excellence and Catholic identity—supporting both students and the dedicated teachers who serve them.
Auction night is a vibrant evening for our community. We celebrate with a welcome reception, formal sit-down dinner, live and silent auction, and other exciting elements all in the support of our school community.
Funds raised from our Heart of Gold Auction not only allow us to “bridge the gap” and keep the cost of Catholic education affordable for each child, but it also supports campus improvements!
As part of our annual tradition, the evening will include a dedicated Fund-a-Cause. Auction guests will have the opportunity to support a high-impact initiative for our school. This year’s Fund-A-Cause project will be announced at a later date.
Over the past few auctions, we have raised donations for campus security upgrades, playground improvements, facilities updates, gym enhancements, and so much more! And we do it ALL for our students.
What’s a better way to have fun and come together for our students than a night of community.

Introducing your Heart of Gold Auction Chairs
Auction Chair: Alex Arnold
Hi everyone! I’m Alex Arnold, and I’m so excited to be the 2026 Heart of Gold Auction Chair! I’m honored to be able to give back to a school that I love so much. As an MIS alumni and current mustang mom of 3, this school and the MIS community hold such a special place in my heart.
When we started discussing where our oldest son Cameron was going to go to school, now almost five years ago, choosing Mary Immaculate was a no-brainer as MIS feels like more than a school, it feels like family. What better way to set our kids up for their futures than amongst a loving and supportive family. And we hope to come together as an MIS family on auction night!
Co-Chair: Leigh Armes
Hi, I’m Leigh Armes and the 2026 Auction Co-Chair! I am a mom to two Mustangs. My husband Patrick and I are originally from Houston but have lived in Dallas for about 12 years. I’m a Medical Speech & Language Pathologist and try to volunteer at school when I can. We fell in love with MIS after touring and meeting some amazing people - it truly is a hidden gem! Looking forward to an amazing Heart of Gold Auction honoring MIS’s 66th year!
Our Auction Team is already planning a wonderful evening of fun and FUN-draising all in support of our kids at our 2026 Heart of Gold Auction. Stay tuned as we share more details along the way. And if you’d like to volunteer and support, we’d love to have you!
