Congratulations to Revelry! Co-chairs Sue Kane and Randy Terwedo, and their committee chairpersons and volunteers, for the success of the first annual Revelry held on Saturday, October 28, 2006 at St. Francis. The event was a huge success and raised over $210,000 for the school (a St. Francis fundraising event record!). Many thanks to everyone who made it possible - those who worked “behind the scenes” over the past few months, those who donated money and auction items and attended, and those who volunteered during set-up, the event itself and clean up.
A very special thanks goes out to the students who stepped up for this important fundraiser. Over 100 students joined in Revelry from various school clubs, academic teams, the Arts Department, Ambassadors and Student Body Officers. Each student was instrumental in offering a warm welcome to Revelry guests and providing outstanding customer service. The Student Body Officers took the responsibility of producing the video used in the live auction to underscore the need for new microscopes. Their creative video, which preceded our “Last Troubie Standing” friendly competition, led to raising over $30,000 for microscopes and the school! Congratulations to our “Last Troubies Standing,” Chris and Tina Bobo and Bob and Lisa Kjome, who each donated over $2,000 toward our new microscopes.
Finally, thanks to all who attended the event, donated items or cash, purchased raffle tickets or sponsored the evening, please know your support was truly appreciated by the Revelry committee. Your generosity will directly benefit the programs enjoyed by every student at St. Francis.
