West Bend, WI – For more than three decades, the St. Frances Cabrini Dinner Auction has brought together the West Bend community and beyond to support Catholic education. This year’s event marks a special milestone—the 30-year anniversary of the school’s signature fundraiser. Organizers are planning a celebration that reflects both the history and the heart of the school.
Community members, parishioners, alumni, friends of the school, Harley-Davidson enthusiasts, and fans of ’80s rock music are warmly invited to attend this year’s dinner auction, themed “Don’t Stop Believing.” The theme celebrates the enduring faith, optimism, and commitment that have sustained St. Frances Cabrini School.
The evening will feature cocktails and silent auction, dinner, raffles, verbal auction led by Justman Auctions, and live entertainment. Additionally, there will be a cash raffle offering a chance to win up to $5,000 with purchase of a $100 ticket. Chances can be purchased now at the school or parish offices. Proceeds from the evening and the raffle will directly benefit SFC School.
One of the most anticipated highlights of the night will be the auctioning of a 2011 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, a standout item expected to draw excitement from both longtime supporters and new attendees alike. In addition to this headline item, guests can look forward to a wide variety of unique auction offerings and experiences.
Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, the band Cherry Pie will kick off a high energy show at 8pm for event attendees. With over 25 years of experience, they will be performing hair-band hits and power ballads for the crowd.
Auction chairs Stacy Hafeman, Molly Godbout, and Anne Marie Danaher say the 30th anniversary provided the perfect opportunity to combine a meaningful theme, memorable entertainment, and exceptional auction.
Their goal is to honor the past while investing in the future. While the dinner auction has long been a beloved tradition for school families, organizers emphasize that this event is open to the entire community, including parish members, neighbors, alumni, Harley enthusiasts, and anyone who loves great music and a great cause. Tickets to the SFC Dinner Auction must be pre-purchased.
