It’s that time of year again for the Renaissance Dinner & Raffle at St. Thomas Becket Academy in Veneta, OR. If you weren’t following last year, St. Thomas Becket is the church my in-laws go to and St. Thomas Becket Academy is the private Catholic school attached to the church where Dominic’s six youngest siblings still attend.
Times are still pretty tough in Oregon. This year they brought some nuns in to help teach and the school is responsible for housing these nuns, which isn’t cheap. Of course like all schools, public and private, they can use new books, art supplies, sports equipment, and scholarship funds to help some families pay their children’s tuition.
Please consider purchasing a ticket for their raffle! Tickets are $10 each and tax deductible. You have a chance to win big too – the top prize is $3000 cash money!
First Prize is $3000 | Second Prize is $500 | Third Prize is $250 | Fourth Prize is $100
Drawing to be held May 21, 2011 at their Renaissance Dinner & Auction.
If you’re interested in purchasing a ticket, please email me to make arrangements. I can either accept the payment myself and have my mother-in-law Michelle send you the physical tickets or put you in touch with Michelle directly if you prefer to send payment to them. If you’re in Oregon in the Veneta/Eugene area and actually would like to attend the dinner, you can call the school directly at (541) 935-0149 to make your dinner reservations. There are a lot of great items up for auction during their silent auction before dinner, and it’s a fun night.
Please, dig out your checkbook and buy a raffle ticket. You could win some cash, and help out a really good school and some great kids. If you’re on Twitter, please retweet mentions of this blog post so we can get more donations for the school. Also, feel free to join the St. Thomas Becket Academy Cause. Or like St. Thomas Becket Academy on Facebook.
