School Fundraisers

Homecoming essentials like crepe paper in St. Patrick's school colors, pompoms, and tissue paper flowers livened up the stairway leading to the gym.

To maintain the evening's sports theme, servers from Main Event Caterers wore referee uniforms.

Each table's focal point was an oversize fabrication of sports-related objects from commercial sculptor A.J. Strasser.

In addition to the green-and-white tablecloths and orange cones lining the stage, on-theme touches included gobos of the school seal and projected images of student athletes.

Pennants served as paddles for the evening's live auction.

A concession stand selling St. Patrick's-branded stadium blankets and pennants stood outside the gym's entrance, next to a display of decorative trophies and a popcorn stand.

For the silent auction, parents decorated the school's main building across the street with jerseys and other sports paraphernalia.

Passed hors d'oeuvres at the silent auction included coconut shrimp on a stick.

A striped awning gave the bar in the school gym—manned by a bartender clad in a referee uniform—a sporty look.

St. Patrick's parent and political commentator Tucker Carlson volunteered as the evening's auctioneer.
