The History & Facts

of Extravaganza

What is Extravaganza?

How will my support make a difference?

I am sure you have asked yourself these questions.

Below is a brief history of our event and hopefully, your answers.

·         Extravaganza was started in 1982, as a dinner and auction, by a group of determined parents and volunteers.  Over the past 30+ years, it has raised over $5 Million.

·         Extravaganza is our largest yearly fundraiser; it consists of a dinner with a silent auction and a live auction. All proceeds from this event go directly into the operating budget of the school which enables us to dedicate more funds to scholarships for students in need

.

·          It is a two-evening event…

Thursday, October 7, 2021 is the Family & Donor Night, held from 6 to 8:00 pm in the school gymnasium.  All parents, alumni, friends, and donors are invited to be guests of the school for refreshments and a chance to bid on the silent auction items and homeroom basket auction.  It is our “Thank You” for contributing to the success of the auction.

Saturday, October 9, 2021, beginning at 6pm, is the Extravaganza dinner/auction for over 250 people.  The evening includes hors d’oeuvres, open bar, silent and live auctions, raffle drawing, music, and entertainment @ $150.00 per person.  Look for your invitation in early September.

·         Although our event culminates in two nights, it is truly a year-round commitment from many volunteers to prepare for these special evenings.

·         More important for you to know is that the funds raised at Extravaganza go directly back into the school.
