Car Party is St. Malachy School’s biggest fundraiser of the year. The money raised at Car Party not only enables the school to complete special projects such as updating technology or repainting the interior of the school; but also helps pay the day to day operating expenses of the school keeping our tuition at a very reasonable rate compared to many other schools.
School families are invited to support Car Party by making a donation and/or purchasing a ticket to attend the event which includes dinner, live and silent auction, entertainment, and a drawdown for a 1 in 200 chance to win the grand prize of $10,000 cash or a $10,000 voucher to Turpin Motors. |
