Saint Vincent de Paul’s 18th annual fundraiser will be held on Saturday, February 11th this year. Dr. Jack Albracht, Pampa’s renown Chiropractor, is the President of the Perish Council for Saint Vincent de Paul as well as the chairman for the fundraiser.
Dr. Albracht spoke about how the fundraiser came to be.
“Initially, when Saint Vincent had the grade school, the fundraiser was created to raise funds for the school,” Dr. Albracht said. “After the school closed, we chose to continue the fundraiser to raise general funds for the church.”
The fundraiser will be Valentine’s Day themed and will be located at the Saint Vincent de Paul’s perish hall on 801 West 23rd Avenue.
Adults can look forward to a fun filled night of dinner and dancing! The event starts at 6:30 pm. A delicious steak dinner, catered by Smitty Brothers BBQ, will be served from 7:15 to 8:15 pm. Music will be provided by Pampa DJ, Fish on Fire.
Calcutta boards will be raffled off throughout the night.
There will be a reverse raffle where the last three tickets picked will be announced the winners. Third prize is a $2,000 VISA card, second prize is a $3,000 VISA card, and first prize is a $5,000 VISA card.
In addition to the reverse raffle, there will be a Silent Auction and Live Auction. The Silent Auction will begin as the event begins. The Live Auction will begin at 8:30 pm.
A few of the items for the Live Auction have been provided by different organizations from Saint Vincent de Paul’s such as the Perish Council and the Women’s Council.
Tickets for the fundraiser are available for purchase up until the time for the raffle drawing. The tickets admit two adults and are $100. All of the proceeds help fund Saint Vincent de Paul church.
