METUCHEN — The Mothers Club of St. Joseph High School, 145 Plainfield Ave., Metuchen, will host its 39th Annual Basket Raffle on Friday, March 22. This year’s theme is “Springtime in Paris.”
More than 750 attendees will compete for more than 300 general baskets (valued at $100 to $299); super-prize baskets ($300- $999); and grand-prize baskets ($1,000 and over) at what is always a sold-out event.
The Mothers Club is reaching out to local businesses and individuals to request donations of goods and services for the raffle. A merchant’s products, gift cards for a restaurant, or gift certificates for a local professional’s services are all welcome donations. All donations are tax deductible.
Donations will be accepted until March 1, and can be dropped off at St. Joseph’s main office or mailed to Mothers Club, St. Joseph High School, 145 Plainfield Ave., Metuchen, NJ 08840. For more information about donating, contact Mary Ann Reis at 732-895- 9161 or [email protected].
Proceeds from the basket raffle are put back into the school. Security cameras, library furniture, a telephone address system and an annual scholarship fund are just a few of the projects that have been funded by the Mothers Club’s volunteers, sponsors and raffle attendees.
Admission tickets and advance-sale raffle tickets are available through the St. Joseph website, www.stjoes.org. Click on Parents, then Mothers Club, and then click on Upcoming Events – 2013 Basket Raffle.
