MESA Casino Night fundraiser a Success

Mansfield Elementary School Association raised over $7,000 on their first night alone.

Mansfield Elementary School Association (MESA) Casino Night fundraiser at TPC Boston Clubhouse in Norton was a success with over $7,000 tallied in just one night.  All the proceeds will be used to support technology and enrichment programs for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade.  Over 120 guests attended the event and the night included a LIVE Auction led by former Patriot Superbowl Champion Joe Andruzzi and State Representative Jay Barrows of Mansfield. 

The evening featured professional entertainment casino dealers along with live and silent auctions and raffle baskets.  Prizes ranged from a limousine ride and dinner for six at Tutto Bene to Patriots tickets and a Matt Light signed jersey.  One of the more unique items were two VIP parking spaces in front of the elementary schools for the month of January – Robinson teacher Lisa DiSangro and parent Catherine DeMassi were the lucky winners.

“We are so pleased that the event was able to raise the needed funds for the classrooms,” said co-chairs Danielle Fish and Peggy Doherty.  “We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors, the committee, and the parents who came out to support the schools.”
