Quincy Catholic Elementary Schools Foundation to be host of Back-to-School ‘FUN’-raiser cocktail party on Friday

QUINCY — The Quincy Catholic Elementary Schools Foundation will be the host of a Back-to-School “FUN”-raiser cocktail party from 5-7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 12, in an outdoor setting at Quincy Country Club, 2410 State. In case of inclement weather, it will be held in the Centennial Room.

“This event is a great opportunity for us to gather and celebrate the start of another year at our Catholic elementary schools,” said Elizabeth Brown, board president, in a press release. “And, for those of us with kids, it’s a nice opportunity to take a quick break from the busyness of the close of summer and back-to-school preparations.”

Tickets are $30 per person in advance and $35 per person at the door with appetizers, beer, wine and soft drinks included in the ticket price. Tickets can be purchased through the QCES website at www.quincycatholicschools.org, by sending payment through Venmo to @QCES-Foundation, or by
calling the QCES Foundation office at 217-779-3157.

Proceeds from the event support the QCES Foundation, which has awarded more than $1 million in tuition assistance to students since 2012.
