JFK School Fundraiser - 11/20/10

More than 250 guests channeled their inner clowns at the Under the Big Top-themed John F. Kennedy Fall Gala, held at the Southpointe Hilton Garden Inn. Attendees bid on exclusive prizes, including four tickets to the Bridgestone 2010 NHL Winter Classic, box seats to a Pittsburgh Steelers game, a trip to Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, and stunning jewels from Louis Anthony Jewelers. All of the $64,000 raised that night will benefit the John F. Kennedy Catholic School in Washington, Pa., a private institution that specializes in the education of students in preschool through eighth grade. “People really enjoyed the circus atmosphere, with the clowns, mimes, and jugglers. This is JFK’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and we’re really pleased with the outcome,” says event chair Ami Hillebrand.
