St. Mary fundraiser to mark 43rd year

Like so many fundraisers, the first St. Mary School auction began out of necessity in the fall of 1982.

A group of parents held a dinner and an auction to raise money to support the school. Fast forward to today where the need is just as great. The auction is the school’s largest annual fundraiser.

St. Mary School does not receive any taxpayer or state funding; therefore, community support through fundraisers and generous donors is essential to keep the school operating. Proceeds raised from the auction support student scholarships, teacher salaries, athletic programs and building maintenance.
