12th AnnualSpirit of FireDinner AuctionThe Spirit of Fire Dinner Auction was celebratedon November 5 and raised $205,000 in netproceeds for Holy Family! This surpassed the$190,000 budgeted goal set for the event. The “AllThat Jazz” theme once again made for a festivebackdrop for the 500 guests to enjoy.Why has the Spirit of Fire Dinner Auction beensuch a success over the years?Our success hinges on three variables: dedicatedvolunteers, gracious donors/sponsors, andgenerous bidders. Holy Family has been blessedby all three. A trifecta! And in addition, hundredsof members of our community have FUN whilesupporting the auction. A few HF alumni studentseven returned to their alma mater to volunteer inthe New Orleans street fair as characters -- froma mime to a puppeteer. They provided manychuckles for our guests. The sign-ups for the greatgathering parties were at the hub of the socialin Burke O’Briens, providing the opportunity forfriends to connect, and future friends to meet,while strategizing what parties to attend.Once the social moved from the silent auction levelto the live auction program and dinner, the energyin the room intensified. D’Amico Catering providedsumptuous food and the HF Jazz Band and Voicesof Fire provided lively entertainment for ourguests to enjoy before rolling into the fund-a-needand live auction bidding. Additional excitementwas infused into the evening when John Radickpresented a $50,000 corporate gift from StromEngineering to our President/Principal KathieBrown, in support of Holy Family’s technologyinitiatives. (This $50,000 donation is in additionto the $205,000 net proceeds stated above).Thank you to the hundreds of volunteers, donors,sponsors and bidders for making the evening agreat success!
