Annual fundraising events are an important part of Alverno’s Development Program. Funds raised from our special events provide additional revenue which can be used to support special programs and activities, or to purchase new items and equipment for the campus, so students benefit directly from our fundraising efforts.
Gala
Each year, the APA
sponsors their major fundraiser, the Gala Dinner-Dance and Auction. Each family
is expected to sell or purchase two
tickets to the Gala, and make one $75 donation, either in the form of
cash or an auction item.
Alverno’s 12th Annual
Gala Dinner-Dance and Auction will be held on Saturday, March 13, 2010 at the Hilton
Pasadena. Many silent and live auction items will be available for bidding; plus
delicious food, live music and dancing will be featured for your enjoyment.
Advertising Sponsorships for the event are also available. For further
information, please contact Wendy Finch-Burk at (626) 355-3463 x227 or wfinch@alverno-hs.org.
Calendar Raffle
Alverno’s Annual Calendar Raffle is a student fundraiser that is held each year between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Raffle tickets are sold by students, with the raffle winners receiving cash prizes and student sellers having the chance to win various incentive prizes. All of the proceeds from the fundraiser are divided, with 10% going to a pre-selected charity, 40% being split by the individual class states, and 50% going to the school’s operating budget.
