Description

Planning is underway for our Annual Trivia Night and Silent Auction. We are expecting a crowd of 150 people on Saturday, September 23rd, 2023. Along with trivia, guests will enjoy silent auctions and raffles featuring a range of exciting items including lotto tickets, local dining, sports memorabilia, family-friendly activities, and more. To make this a successful event, we need your help!

St. Paul's has been part of the Antonia/Otto/Imperial community for over 165 years!

Over the last few years, we have been blessed with the ability to provide practice space for many local youth sports teams. We currently provide practice space for 9 youth sports teams, 2 Jefferson County Christian schools, and 2 adult basketball groups. Our gymnasium sees at least one team per day and as many as 5 on Saturdays. While our gymnasium was built decades ago for the purpose of youth recreation and community outreach, our currently reality has surpassed past hopes and dreams. With the help of fundraisers, grants, and YOU, we hope to update the basketball backboards, volleyball standards and net, and add some padding to the stage for safety.

Because St. Paul's is no longer blessed with a grade school, we provide tuition assistance for members to attend local Lutheran elementary and high schools. We currently support 3 children with this financial assistance. Trivia Night is the largest annual fundraiser for this fund.

With each fundraiser, St. Paul's gives a tithe to missions. This year's trivia night mission will be Pony Bird in Mapaville. "Pony Bird exists to enrich the lives of individuals with disabilities. We achieve our mission through four core program areas: community living, community support services, employment, and family support & leisure. Pony Bird is the culmination of two rich organizational histories. In July 2022, Pony Bird and NextStep for Life joined forces to create the new Pony Bird." [ponybird.org/our-mission/]

Our goal this year is to raise $5000! This will enable us to support 2 Lutheran School children, complete our upgrades, and donate $500 to Pony Bird in support of their mission.

Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please contact us.
