Spring Blast Success

This year’s theme for Sacred Heart Area School’s Spring Blast Dinner and Auction was “Hollywood; A Night on the Red Carpet”.  The event included a stretched limo, red carpet, giant Oscar statues, and other Hollywood dazzle inside and in front of the school.  The 230 attendees had the opportunity to enjoy dinner provided by Detloff Custom Catering and beverages provided by the joint efforts of The Liquor Depot and the Knights of Columbus.   There were nearly 300 silent and live auction items up for bid, donated by generous businesses and individuals from the Staples-Motley community and Sacred Heart Area School Alumni.  This is the largest fundraising event of the year for Sacred Heart Area School averaging $36,000 in net profits for the continued operation of the school.  “The greatest attribute to the success of this event, is a loving community of disciples that believe in our mission and want to see it continue.”  Says Principal Jim Opelia.  “We are very grateful!”
