Proceeds from the basket raffle are put right back into St Joseph High School. Security cameras, library furniture, a telephone address system, and an annual scholarship fund are just a few of the much-needed projects that have been funded because of the generosity of the Mothers Club’s volunteers, sponsors, and raffle attendees.

Admission tickets and advance-sale raffle tickets are available through the St. Joseph website at stjoes.org (click on Parents, then Mothers Club, and then Upcoming Events – 2013 Basket Raffle.)
