>>> NEVER BEEN TO A NIGHT AT THE RACES EVENT? <<<
Here's how it works!

Participants will view 10 actual horse races with 10 horses each that have been video taped and will be narrated from start to finish. You'll enjoy all the suspense and close-up action for an exciting and thrilling fundraising event. Everyone can root, cheer, and shout for their favorite horses from the start of the race to the finish line. You can make wagers on each race-minimum bets start at $2.00 per horse.

Adding to the excitement of the evening is the opportunity to purchase your own horse and name it (be creative for our announcer!). As an owner your name will appear in the program. If your horse wins, you win $25.00 & a trophy! For the final race horse ownerships will be up for auction that night. Your table or group may pull their resources together to bid on a horse.

Of course, a wonderful buffet meal is included in admission. You're invited to bring appetizers to share at your table if you wish.

In addition, we'll have lots of door prizes, Silent Auction items and various raffles, instant bingo games, sideboards and 50/50 games. Nearly everyone will go home with something!!!

You also can support this fun event by personally advertising in the race program or soliciting ads from businesses and friends. Our Program Ads are $25.00 for 1/4 page, $50.00 for 1/2 page, and $75.00 for a full page.
Race sponsorships are $50.00 each. Only 12 races are available and they sell out fast! Sponsors' names will appear in the program for that race and they'll receive a free 1/4 page ad.

Donations of prizes for give-a-ways throughout the night will be graciously accepted from businesses, friends and families.

Thank you in advance for supporting this St. Joseph Home & School Association fundraiser. We look forward to an outstanding Night at the Races. We hope to see you there!
