THANK YOU!!! What an incredible night at the 41st Annual St. Pat’s Dinner & Auction! What began in 1986 as a small, unofficial auction raising $2,700 at Perry Plaza has grown into a lasting legacy of bringing generations together in support of Catholic education. Over four decades later, the St. Pat’s Auction has become our largest fundraiser, and is made possible by the unwavering support of dedicated volunteers, generous donors, and our amazing community.
With another fantastic crowd filling the room, it was a joy to see friends, alumni, parishioners, and families across generations come together once again to celebrate and support St. Vincent Schools.
From start to finish, this event is a TRUE TEAM effort. Our SV students played a huge role serving meals, presenting auction items, helping with setup and cleanup, creating beautiful artwork, and stepping in wherever needed. They are not only part of this tradition, they are the reason for it.
HUNDREDS of people dedicate THOUSANDS of hours behind the scenes to make this night a success, and we are beyond GRATEFUL for each and every one of you. A special thank you to the many individuals and businesses who generously gave their time and talents to this event:
Joy Best, Larry Boxdorfer, Renee Brueckner, Clint Brown, Bonnie Comte, DC’s Catering Co., Randy Dickmann, Cindy Elder, Dean Elder (Knights of Columbus), Dana Gibbar, Alicia Hotop, Vickie Hunt, Jay Kirn, Junior & Linda Kutz, Kim Layton, Sara Mahnken, Janel Meyr, Marsha Moll, Debbie Morris, Tim & Tina Mueller, Christy Presnell, Evelyn Rehagen, Denise Riehn, Sara Schumer, Chester & Chelsea Seyer, Mark & Brenda Kern (Seyer Auction Services), Chad Wheeler, and all of our decorators and cake bakers. And to anyone we may have missed, please know your time and support mean so much to us it is just truly hard to list everyone who volunteers!
Thank you to the GENEROUS individuals and businesses who contributed to our auction donations! Thank you for being part of this incredible tradition! We are so proud of our SV Schools and the Catholic education they provide. We can’t wait to see you again next year! 🍀
