We at Bishop Feehan High School will celebrate the 25th anniversary of our Annual Auction this year. This cornerstone event features exciting online auctions and a spectacular live dinner gala. Once again, Feehan parents, alumni and friends will unite for an evening of music, laughter and shopping while supporting Feehan’s ongoing dedication to the academic, individual and spiritual development of our students. This year’s festivities will be held at Christina’s in Foxboro on March 27, 2010. We expect more than 350 enthusiastic parents, alumni and friends of Bishop Feehan High School to join in the celebration!
The Bishop Feehan Auction is a parent run event that has helped to make many important elements a reality here at Feehan, including Mercy Hall and the World Language Lab. The proceeds from this year’s auction will help renovate our Mercy Chapel in preparation for Feehans’ upcoming 50th anniversary in 2011 and provide funds to enhance Bishop Feehan’s academic technology!
Please consider contributing your time, treasure and talent to helping make the 25th anniversary auction a success by donating an item or service to the auction and joining us at this year’s celebration on March 27th. All donations are tax-deductible. If you have any questions, please contact us at auction@bishopfeehan.com or call the Office of Advancement at 508-226-7411.
