Extravaganza is Saturday, February 4^th

Our largest, most important Fundraiser of the year – our 5^th annual Extravaganza for All Saints Academy at the St. Cloud Campus again!  This “not-to be missed” event features a strolling, heavy appetizer buffet, silent, live auctions, our important Fund-A-Need and the band “Outdoor Recess.”

The fun begins at 5:30 pm with live music beginning at 8:45 pm.  But we need YOU And your guests! Ticket price for the event is $50/person and it counts towards your family fundraising dollars.

Never attended before?  New parent?  Like last year, ASA parents attending for the first time will be offered ½ price tickets as a little incentive to “check out Extravaganza.”  Just let us know when you turn in your ticket payment.
