Parents' Club
Night at the Races: Saturday, February 9 at 7 PM
Night at the Races is Saturday, February 9, 2019 at 7 PM. (S
now date is February 16. Feel free to share this email with your family and friends.) This is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Parents' Club.
What is Night at the Races?
Night at the Races is a virtual horse track in our very own school. This audience participatory event recreates the atmosphere of the race track by using top-secret, previously recorded races that allow us to cheer and wager. There will be a 50/50 and other games of chance.
Ticket Information
Tickets for admission include dinner, beer, wine and soda and cost $30 in advance, $35 at the door. You must be 21 to attend, and the event is open to the public. Click the links below to purchase tickets or a sponsorship.
How Do I Win?
There are two ways to win money from the horses.
- The first is to "own" a horse. You do this by sending in the form with your horse name, family name, and $5/horse. If your horse wins the race in which it is entered? You win $25! Winnings are not dependent on event attendance (but it's more fun if you are there!)
- The second is to bet on the horses at the event. Your $2 bet will pay out based on the odds. And how loud you scream for your virtual horse to win. That is totally a thing
Lucky Lotto
Lucky Lotto tickets are $10 each and can be purchased ahead of time. Each ticket has 5 unique, 3-digit numbers ranging from 000-999. The number will be drawn at the event, but the winner does not need to be present. There are only 200 tickets available and 1 guaranteed winner - $1000 cash!
Sponsorship
Still looking for ways to contribute? Sponsor a race for $100! Any individual or company that makes a $100 donation receives:
- name on the program for the sponsored race
- name announced at the beginning of the sponsored race
- a business card sized ad or message on the program.
High roller? Reach out to us to find out what other opportunities can be created for you.
Volunteering
Volunteer forms can be returned to school anytime. The volunteer form is also available on the
Parents' Club
page of the SBA website.
