Friends in the Courtyard
Thank you to our 460 attendees who gathered on
Wednesday, October 17 in the gymnasium at St. Francis
DeSales High School for the “Friends in the Courtyard”
WineTasting and Auction. The outdoor ambiance created
in the gymnasium was simply amazing, thanks to Mark
Ciminello ’85 and Ciminellos Inc. Landscaping and
Garden Center.
The event raised
$42,588
, and brought parents, alumni,
faculty, staff, and friends together to sample the finest
wines from around the world plus a variety of beers
from local breweries. Guests also enjoyed fabulous hors
d’oeuvres from Carfagna’s and were able to bid on 200
silent and live auction items. Included in last year’s event
was the selling of iPad raffle tickets done by 26 DeSales
students. They outperformed themselves and sold $6,465
worth of raffle tickets to help fund 20 iPads for students to
use in the classroom. Special thanks to parent Maria Ellis
who made the raffle a huge success.
We are grateful for the help of our dedicated volunteers,
donors, vendors, and sponsors for making “Friends in
the Courtyard” Live and Silent Auction a successful and
fantastic event.
