The LBHS Class of 1972 will be hosting a silent auction/raffle fundraiser on September 28th from 11:00 am to 2 pm at USM Gulf Park Campus, Hardy Hall Dining Hall. The event, sponsored by more than one hundred businesses and individuals along the coast, including the surrounding areas of New Orleans and Mobile, will feature many one-of-a-kind items and experiences.
“There will be something for everyone at this event, including themed baskets, day and sunset cruises, fishing gear, tickets to local attractions and events, restaurant gift cards, pottery and fine art, car care items, and jewelry,” says Denise Daniel, fundraising chair.
Admission to the event is free, and you need not be present to win. All funds raised will support graduating seniors who want to further career goals after graduation. Qualifying applicants must demonstrate a financial need, must have demonstrated good moral character/conduct, and must be in good academic standing while attending Long Beach schools.
After selection of the recipient(s) by a committee of school employees, the 501c3 Long Beach Excellence in Education Foundation will forward the raised funds to the student’s choice of a regionally accredited academic, technical, or vocational post secondary institution.
