The Golden Bell Auction
Benefiting the Direct Tuition Assistance Fund
Now in its 50th year, the annual Golden Bell Auction is a beloved tradition that brings together current and past Bellarmine families and friends of the school for an evening of delicious food, exceptional wine, fantastic company, exclusive items and experiences auctioned off in support of Bellarmine’s Direct Tuition Assistance Fund.
Join us on Saturday, March 14, 2026!
This year’s Golden Bell Auction celebrates a milestone of its own — the event’s 50th anniversary — as well as Bellarmine’s 175th anniversary!

"At Bellarmine, we don’t just learn math, science, or history. We learn how to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. We learn how to be emotionally happy and fulfilled human beings who care for others and ourselves. Through experiences like Kairos, and through every interaction with the wonderful teachers, coaches, and students of Bellarmine, we are given tools to build meaningful relationships, to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and grace, and to find joy and purpose."
