2010 Regalia Results


Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters of St. Richard's School,

It is with great pleasure that I write to you today to announce the outcome of the 2010 Regalia. This premiere fundraising event of the institution has a decades-long tradition of excellence and high impact for the School and its programs. It could not have been the remarkable event that it was without the tremedous work of the Executive Committee including Elizabeth Bearby, Bobbi Bosch, Mette Koehn Milland, Toni Ricker, Kim Robertson, Jennifer Sloan, Lisa Voy, Robin Wojcieszek, and their amazing committee members. Nor could the event have been as successful without the dedicated staff and faculty of St. Richard's School. The countless hours of hard work and planning was evidenced by the truly magical evening at the Scottish Rite Cathedral on March 6, 2010.

Thanks must also be extended to each of you, the people whose unbounding generosity before and during the event made the Regalia a success both as a fundraiser and a "friend-raiser." It is a testament to this great community that, even in times of economic uncertainty, so many came together to ensure a stronger future for the children of St. Richard's School. We appreciate your dedication and support of the Regalia and hold dear your commitment and contributions!

The final outcome of the evening is truly remarkable! Today the total (un-audited) net income of the Regalia (inclusive of both auctions, the raffle, sponsorships and ticket sales) stands at over $107,000.00. These monies help support this year's need-based financial aid awards.

The Fund-A-Need (Lockers) un-audited net income stands at $49,325.00. A detailed breakdown of both totals can be found below.
