Fales Prepares for Biggest Annual Fundraiser

Fales Elementary School students will benefit from a parents’ night out this Friday night.

The Fales Parent Group’s annual silent and live auction is from 7 to 11 p.m. Friday at the Knights of Columbus.

Admission is $25, which includes appetizers, dessert and coffee.

Organizers hope to raise $15,000 for school enrichment programs and classroom needs, says Sara Dullea, who co-chairs the event with Jen Lasch.

Last year’s fundraiser raised $13,000, Dullea says.

“It’s always nice to get out, leave the kids at home and hang out with your fellow parents,” she says.

Several hundred items will be available from local businesses and families, Dullea says.

Among the items are Red Sox tickets; a painting by local artist J. Barry Hanshaw; spa packages; and music lessons.

Live music will be new to the event this year, Dullea says.

No Alibi will perform.

“They’re very high energy. It should be really fun,” she says.
