Annual Christmas Breakfast and Bazaar sees excellent turnout at Carroll Catholic School

 

[December 07, 2022] 

Carroll Catholic School hosted its annual Christmas Breakfast and Bazaar Fundraiser this past Sunday, December 4th in the school gymnasium.

The annual event is not only very well attended, but very well supported by local businesses, organizations, and individuals. This was made apparent when guests had the pleasure of choosing from dozens of raffle baskets on display and taking up the largest part of the gym.



For this fundraiser, the raffle is done via dropping tickets in buckets in front of the item the patron would like a chance to win. Tickets were sold in unlimited quantities. Guests, then perused the many offerings and dropped one, two, or more tickets in bucket in front of the item. After the end of the day, the tickets would be drawn, and winners would be notified.

Along with the basket raffle, there was a delicious breakfast being served all morning long. The breakfast of eggs, fried potatoes, biscuits and gravy, bacon, and cinnamon rolls brought in lots of hungry customers, as CCS students and helpers worked to serve up large servings to everyone.

For those with a big sweet tooth, there was a big baked goods sale going on as well. Cookies of all varieties were being offered for very affordable prices.



One of the largest draws of the day was the gigantic load of groceries on display, again, being offered via a raffle with one lucky winner taking home more than enough food to last for weeks.

Other big draws of the day a coloring table for youngsters, a special mailbox for letters to Santa, and the “class trees” on display decorated with items made by CCS students.

The money raised at the Sunday event will go to support school programs.
