Join us for the St. Vincent-St. Mary Athletic Booster Club’s Reverse Raffle, our biggest fundraiser of the year, on Thursday, November 13, 2025 at Guy's Party Center in Akron.

This annual tradition brings our Fighting Irish community together for a night of food, fun, and chances to win big — including a $3,000 grand prize!

What’s a Reverse Raffle?

Every ticket number is drawn — but unlike a regular raffle, you want to be last! The final number pulled wins the $3,000. There are also bonus prizes throughout the night — for example, 50th number drawn, 100th, and more.

We’ll also have side boards and 50/50, so there are many ways to win before the big draw.

Ticket Options:

• $85 – 1 Dinner + 1 Ticket

• $55 – 1 Ticket only (you do not need to be present to win)

• $120 – 2 Dinners + 1 Ticket

Every ticket includes an open bar and dinner (if selected), a great night out with friends and family, and of course — a shot at the $3,000 prize.

Tickets are first come, first served, so get yours now! To purchase, contact any Booster Club board member or email us at athleticboosterclub@stvm.com

ATTENDANCE REMINDERS

Parents:  If your student is (1) not going to be in school, (2) going to be late to school, or (3) leaving early from school, it is critical that you notify the school by calling the attendance line as soon as possible at 330-253-9116.

Students MUST SIGN OUT of the Attendance Office if they leave school early. 

It is important that you call us first thing in the morning if you are planning to pick up your student during the day so that we can ensure they will be excused from class and ready to be picked up when you arrive.  You may leave a message on the attendance line with this information. As a reminder, please refer to the Student/Parent Handbook for Absence Policy and required documentation.
