When and what is Nichols Night?
Nichols Night will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026 inside The Class of 1961 Student Commons on the Nichols campus. The event is the school’s major fundraiser, all proceeds – 100% of donations – benefit our students and their Nichols experience and we are going all-in with a Casino Night theme.
When do tickets go on sale for the event?
Tickets are now on sale! Early bird pricing is available until Friday, March 27 for $150 per ticket.
After March 27, tickets will start at a standard price of $175.
How can I support the Auction?
Visit our Gift Gathering page for casual pre-event get-togethers, that are a fun way to connect with fellow parents, alumni, and friends — all while contributing to the success of our biggest fundraising event of the year as we are able to secure exciting items and experiences for the Auction. Join us as we mix, mingle, and make this year’s Casino Night one to remember.
Will I be using my own money to gamble the night of the event?
No. For gambling on the night of the event we will not be using real money, but with every ticket purchase you will receive $500 in chips to play with. Gambling will run from 8 - 10 p.m. and at the end of the night for every $100 you have as winnings, you will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize.
Will there be other things to do at Nichols Night besides gamble?
Yes. We will have other entertainment, student musical performances, photo opportunities, culinary pairings from Patina 250, specialty drink by Hartman’s and Big Ditch, and much more to come as we get ready for an unforgettable evening at Nichols Night!
