The St. Benedict Preparatory School & Parish
10th Annual Ball & Auction
Mardi Gras Masquerade
was a HUGE success!
The event raised more than $125,000 for school programs. This great result was possible through the generous support of families and friends of St. Benedict Parish and Preparatory School. Thank you for coming together to celebrate our community and unique educational opportunities.
Efforts are now underway for the 11th Annual Ball & Auction which will be held on March 3, 2012. As we had such a great time last March, the venue will again be Galleria Marchetti. Please save the date!!
Passport to Paradise is the theme. Think of tropical ports of call, palm trees, surfboards and hearty grazing on a cold March evening. You'll get a cruising experience while supporting the school's educational programs.
The event chairs are Katie Troelstrup and Meggan Flom who, assisted by the Committee, are investing their time and energies with the goal of making the coming Ball & Auction even more successful than last year's!
The first committee meeting was held August 31. More than 20 parent volunteers turned out to lend their support. Committee chairs will be announced soon. Additional hands and ideas are welcome!!
Your input is important to us - please help us surpass our fundraising goal and make this the best Ball & Auction yet.
If you would like to be part of the B&A committee, donate auction items, sponsor a portion of the event, suggest a contact for a sponsorship or help in another way, please contact: Katie (ktroelstrup@gmail.com); Meggan (megdonoghue@msn.com), or Deb Bukovy, mission advancement associate, (ms.bukovy@stbenedict.com).
The next committee meeting will be Wednesday, Sept. 28, from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., in the School Faculty Lounge.
