Central Catholic Will Hold 31st-Annual Scholarship Fundraiser on March 18

Central Catholic High School’s 31st-annual scholarship fundraiser, Run For the Roses, Cherry Street Downs, will take place Saturday, March 18 at The Pinnacle in Maumee.  Cocktails and registration begin at 5:30 pm.  The cost per ticket is $100.  The evening includes casino games, food, fun, and fundraising, all to benefit the Central Catholic scholarship fund.

Please visit CentralCatholic.org/scholarshipgala to register for the event.  Your ticket purchase serves as your RSVP to the in-person event and gives you access to our online auction, which runs from March 4 through March 18 at 10 pm.

Raffle tickets are on sale now for a 7-day / 6-night stay for 2 at the beautiful Makai Club Resort in Kauai, Hawaii.  The trip includes accommodations and airfare paid through a Delta Airlines voucher.  The package is valued at over $5,000, and the winner has 12 months to take the trip!  Visit CentralCatholic.org/scholarshipgala to purchase your raffle tickets.  Proceeds from the raffle also benefit the Central Catholic scholarship fund.

The honorary chairs for this year’s event are Shrader Tire & Oil, Joe Shrader (Class of 1979), and the Shrader family.  Sponsorship opportunities are available.  Call (419) 255-2280 for more information.

“This event is the most important fundraiser that we have,” said alumnus Eric Stockard (Class of 1975), Central Catholic’s Vice President for Institutional Advancement.  “Every dollar we bring in directly benefits student scholarships, which means that the more money we raise, the more students we can impact.  Central Catholic has been providing an outstanding education for over 100 years, and we want to be able to continue that momentum for years to come.”

Anyone who is unable to attend the event in person can still participate in this fundraiser in several ways!

· Bid on online auction items.
