We are so excited about our upcoming annual Heart of Hearts Auction Gala on Friday, April 29, 2022!  We moved the auction back a month in hopes that the number of Covid cases will be lower and people will be more inclined to want to gather to celebrate our tenth auction. We have all faced some hard times these past two years. Like many schools, our preschool has been greatly affected by the pandemic. We realize businesses and families may have been greatly impacted as well.

While we make ends meet to cover the day-to-day expenses of running an outstanding Catholic educational curriculum, we operate in an 82-year-old building. Our 40-year-old elevator needs a costly modernization rehab. Proceeds from our auction’s Fund-a-Need will help to fund this $155,000 needed project. The proceeds from the live and silent auction will help supplement other operating expenses.

We are asking you to consider giving Sacred Heart Villa your support. We hope you can help us, and we know that you care about the ministry we give to these precious youngsters. There are many ways you can help:

· Become a sponsor. Sponsors can pay to have an ad for their business, or a tribute to recognize a particular person(s) placed in the program. There are various levels of sponsorship available ranging from $100 - $10,000. VIP Event Sponsorships are new this year and include Champagne Toast Sponsor, and Sweet Treats Sponsor. These are limited availability and will help to support portions of the auction evening. Special recognition will be given to the sponsor in different way. For more information on being an auction sponsor visit: http://bidpal.net/shvauction2022 .

· Donate an item or two for our auction. New items, gift baskets, tickets to a sporting event or theater, an overnight stay at a hotel, and gift cards to restaurants or other retail businesses can all be donated and would be greatly appreciated. Donating the use of your condo or vacation home on a lake or beach for a set number of days would be a great gift to the school!

· Purchase tickets in February to attend the 10th annual gala on Friday, April 29th. Though tickets sales are not available yet, you can still mark your calendars, call your friends and family members to join you, and get that babysitter lined up so you are ready to join in the party!

If you have questions concerning making a donation or need to have your donation picked up, please send an email to Barb Iovaldi: biovaldi@sacredheartvilla.org, or call 314-771-2224 and leave a message for Sr. Bridget.
