Spring Fling Annual Auction

Together We Raised $117,000 for Our Saints!

Thank you to the entire SJS Community for supporting our largest fundraising effort of the year! Spring Fling 2017, our annual auction and celebration, would not have been a success without the generous auction donations, the creativity of the class crafts and baskets, the ingenious experiences donated by our teachers and staff, and the time and efforts of our planning committee and all of the volunteers! Thank You!  Together we raised $117,000, including $39,700 in the Silent Auction, $28,400 in the Live Auction, and $17,000 in ticket and raffle sales! With over 300 “derby fans” in attendance the evening was filled with spirited bidding, dancing, and fellowship building. Top selling items included the two Dinners with the Friars, the Beltway Brewery Tour and Happy Hour, and the “Escape Room SJS” experience.Stay tuned as planning begins for our 25th anniversary of Spring Fling next spring!

Dear SJS Parents,
 
Planning is well underway for our school’s largest annual fundraiser, the Spring Fling, on Saturday, April 1, 2017. Please join us to help make this year’s annual dinner and auction a huge success. The evening, themed “Kentucky Derby: Off to the Races”, will include food, cocktails, fellowship and fun. A Bid Pal virtual auction will run through 9:00 p.m. We invite all St. Joseph School families and friends to join in the occasion by attending and contributing to this event. All proceeds from the event will benefit our children. Please help us multiply our talents as a family and give, as you are able, to further our children’s educational experience here at St. Joseph School.  Go Saints!
