Revelry Surpasses Half Million Mark
Revelry 2012, held on October 27th, raised $571,000 to support the operations and educational programs of St. Francis. Surpassing the half million mark represented a 16% increase over last year’s earnings and double the earnings from just two years ago. In the fundraising world, this is an exceptionally positive trend, and the thanks go directly to our many dedicated supporters and volunteers. Chairperson Wendy Miller lent her talent, focus, enthusiasm, and work ethic to the unprecedented success of the event. With the theme of An Evening of Traditional & Elegance, Where Town Meets County, the campus was transformed into an enclave of East-Coast style and sensibility. The festivities included a delicious dinner prepared by Chef Patrick Mulvaney of Mulvaney’s B & L. During the live auction, the crowd learned of the Giants 2-0 win in game three of the world series. Spirits were subsequently raised, as were bids!
Presenting Sponsors
Special thanks go to John and Sandra Geary Cook ’55 for their continued support of Revelry and St. Francis High School. In addition, to being a presenting sponsor, the Cooks contributed $28,000 towards the development of Studio Troubadour (see below). Revelry’s other presenting sponsor and significant Revelry supporters are Kathy and Pat McClain, representing Hanson McClain. Their continued support is also greatly valued.
Studio Troubadour
This year’s “Hands Up for Troubies” donation request was to equip and retrofit an existing green room in the Arts Building with state-of-the-art media and cinematography equipment to create Studio Troubadour. The budget to implement the studio was $80,000 and we are pleased to report that the program has been fully funded through the monies raised at Revelry and contributions made after the event. v
