Description

Celebrate with us on June 3rd, 2023 as we host our third annual St. Raphael Catholic School “A Night in Havana” fundraiser. We are excited to share that because of your generous support over the past years, you have made a positive impact on St. Raphael School and students. Thank you!

We had an amazing time last year and we are so fortunate to again host this opportunity to give. The money raised this year will be put towards a new K-6th grade math curriculum. Our Fund-A-Need LIVE Auction will take place to help fund a brand new outdoor playground that will serve all ages of our students and will be a benefit to the Springfield community. A safe and functional playground provides the environment needed for children to engage in elements which develop important skills.

“A Night in Havana” is an adult-only event open to the community. It will be held outdoors at the St. Raphael School grounds from 4 pm-11 pm. A memorable evening of excitement and entertainment awaits you! The evening will begin with a delicious smoked pork rib and meatball dinner and entertainment by local country band, Chris & Chris. Continue dancing throughout the evening as another local band, Neon-LIVE plays rock, pop, country and funk! Grab a refreshing beverage from our very own Havana bar, peruse the silent auction items, and participate in the different raffles and entertaining games. Back by popular demand, a member of the Minnesota State Auctioneer’s Association Hall of Fame, Chuck Sutton, Auctioneer, will be putting on the LIVE auction and our Fund-A-Need LIVE auction. You do not want to miss this!

In order to make this event a success, we are kindly asking for your monetary support, donation or assistance in participating in the evening’s activities.
