What a fun evening we had at the Academy on Saturday, May 4! Our 39th annual Chemin de Fer auction was truly a G’Day Down Under. Four hundred and thirty guests were in high spirits imagining themselves in the Great Barrier Reef and the Australian outback—easy to do while surrounded by incredible, amazing and transformative decorations that covered nearly every square inch of Rauch Memorial and enhanced the Playroom and White Center.
Our yearly Chemin auctions have become memorable occasions—and not just for their ability to raise a good amount of money to supplement the school operating budget (though that is certainly their raison d’être). In addition to being the largest fundraiser of the year, Chemin provides the opportunity for hundreds of guests to enjoy an elegant dinner, visit with Academy parents and friends, and win exciting, one-of-a-kind auction prizes (puppies, quilts, trips, parties and more) within once-familiar spaces that are exciting, new and fun. All of the work necessary to put on these extravaganzas supports the larger work of Sacred Heart education here at the Academy of the Sacred Heart.
John and Melissa Gisi and Michael and Vanessa Fritsche were at the helm as we traveled to the Southern Hemisphere for Chemin 2013. Not only was it a G’Day, it was a good night, as well, for ASH. Final results will be announced in the weeks ahead.
