Join us: Saturday, April 15 from 6-11 PM for a special celebration marking the 50 year anniversary of our founding schools, St. Joseph Academy and Dowling High School.

The Bash is our annual school year end celebration and auction which features silent and live auctions with over 100 items, mystery wine pull, restaurant row and a raffle drawing for either FREE DCHS tuition or a $5,000 cash prize. Be on the lookout for the new additions to the event featuring guest entertainers and interactive games of chance. Back by popular demand will be the refreshing libation “The Buffalo.” 

We would not be able to offer all of these wonderful items and packages without the many individuals and businesses that have invested in this event!  We are immensely grateful and humbled by your generosity. Thank you!

 

The committee has been busy planning and new items will be added frequently so stay tuned. Watch for updates and activities that you won’t want to miss. Details on how to participate will be mailed, emailed, posted on our website, and shared on social media.

A few specialty items and games of chance will only be available for purchase with CASH at the event. You won’t want to miss out on these exciting opportunities so please plan ahead and come prepared with some cold, hard cash in your wallet or purse.

 

We look forward to bringing our community together for a great cause. Proceeds from the Bash go directly toward technology upgrades and tuition assistance. Thank you for investing in Dowling Catholic High School!

Back by popular demand at the Bash is the Golden Ticket! This amazing opportunity allows one lucky winner to bypass the live auction bidding process and personally select the item of their choice from ANY of the top live auction items. Stay tuned for a list of all of the wonderful live auction items.

How does it work? 

Don’t miss this golden opportunity! Tickets available for purchase beginning Monday, March 27. Drawing will be held at the Bash April 15, 2023. Good luck!
