Saint Ann School and Parish to host a Magical Evening
Do you believe in magic?
The students of Saint Ann School and the parishioners of Saint Ann Parish do. They believe in the magic of friends, parents, and alumni who come together every year for their benefit. Well…for the benefit of a benefit, actually.
On Saturday, March 14 at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Saint Ann School and Parish will host its annual charity event, “This Magic Moment,” to benefit student scholarships and parish operations. And you’re invited to be a part of the magic act.
Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres begin at 6:30 p.m. As harpist Jocelyn Chang and flutist Michael Leese provide a tranquil backdrop, magician Rick Smith will circulate throughout the crowd performing tricks and illusions. But it’s the silent auction and raffles that will truly enchant:
- Ultimate Book Club (dinner, book-signing, and discussion with a nationally-known author)
- Drive a convertible for the summer
- Ohio State University/University of Michigan Football package
- Pamper Yourself Makeover Package
And while the live-auction items offered during dinner may seem like a sleight of hand trick, trust us -they’re entirely real. Up for auction is a trip to New York City and a tour of MSNBC, and a week at Saddlebrook Golf and Tennis Club in Florida. And to top it all off, the final act of the evening’s magical performance will be the induction of all Saint Ann School alumni in attendance into the Father John Mary Powers Alumni Society. So, if you’re a Saint Ann School alum reading this now, here’s a chance to be a part of history.
Tickets for the dinner are $125 per person. For more information or to purchase tickets, please contact the Saint Ann Parish Rectory at 216-321-0024. Be a part of the magic—conjure up capital for Saint Ann School and Saint Ann Parish!
