At this year’s ninth annual Pauction VI “Born in the U.S.A.” auction gala, 500 guests enjoyed an evening of authentic American cuisine, incredible prizes and a “Dancing in the Dark” after party entertainment! The school is grateful to the numerous parents, students, alumni and sponsors for their commitment in bringing this extraordinary event to life.
The evening was a success in raising funds of $65,000 in net proceeds for the school. BidPal…online mobile bidding allowed participants to bid on all silent auction items with the touch of their fingers using their own smartphone…iPhone, Andriod or iPad. For the second year in a row, this year’s committee chairs, alumni Karen (Sauer) McArdle’83 and Michael Brady’82 led this outstanding event. Three lucky people won $500 from cash giveaway drawings throughout the evening. Guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres, a gourmet buffet and an open bar while they participated in an exciting silent auction. Then the incredible live auction took center stage! The auctions culminated and the highlight of the affair … a Golden Ticket drawing went to two lucky winners — second prize was $3,341 and the grand prize was $13,364! Guests finished off the evening by testing their luck at the gaming tables as well as “Dancing in the Dark” to music played by the band, Double Trouble!
