"Pasta and Bingo Night" Elevates VIMSIA Sailing Team
/A heartfelt thank you to all who attended this week’s fundraiser at St. Thomas Yacht Club! We are thrilled to share the tremendous success of “Pasta and Bingo Night,” held on Wednesday night to support the VIMSIA sailing team. Thanks to the incredible support and participation from our community, the event was not only a delightful evening but also a significant step towards achieving our fundraising goals for the team.
The event kicked off with a wonderful array of pasta dishes that were enjoyed by all prepared by our very own Colin Auchicloss. As the evening progressed, the excitement heightened with the start of the bingo games. It was a joy to see participants of all ages engaging in the friendly competition, with lucky winners walking away with amazing prizes donated by our sponsors.
"It’s so great to see our kids working together and being shining examples of why we send our children to this school and confirmation of our belief in the Montessori spirit," said Ravi Nagi.
We are proud to announce that, through food sales, donations, and the Bingo, we have raised a quarter of our yearly team fundraising goals. 100% of these funds go directly towards supporting the VIMSIA sailing team, enabling them to pursue their passion and travel to stateside regattas.
"I love how everyone comes together on this team! We have the best parent and student group,” added Sarah Auchincloss.
This event would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of our volunteers, the generous donations from local businesses and individuals, and, most importantly, the participation of our community.
Once again, we extend our heartfelt thanks for your contribution to making the “Pasta and Bingo Night” a resounding success. We look forward to the continued support of our community and to seeing you all at our next event.
