The largest fundraising event for two Catholic schools in Jackson – St. Mary’s (K-8) and Sacred Heart of Jesus High School – will be held at the Carl Perkins Civic Center, Saturday.
“Get ready for a night of fun unlike any other in this area,” Suzanne Boyd said, “The St. Mary’s School and Sacred Heart of Jesus Mardi Gras Auction & Casino Gala is a night packed with great drinks, great food, Vegas talent, fabulous trips and sports memorabilia with a casino and disco thrown in.”
Suzanne Boyd – Sacred Heart of Jesus High School – and Cindy Saia – St. Mary’s School – co-chair the event.
Suzanne said the festivities begin at 6 p.m., with a cocktail party with several signature drinks. The dinner show, which begins at 7 p.m., features what is called the best Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin Tribute Artists.
“At 8:30 p.m., the live auction begins, and at 9:30 p.m., the casino and disco open,” Suzanne said, “Throughout the night there is a silent auction of trips and sports memorabilia as well as two specialty drinks that could win you a trip to Vegas or a beautiful gold, silver and diamond bangle bracelet.”
Presenting sponsor for the evening is FMY Orthodontics.
