This is Jim Kelly - incoming 2020-21 Parent Organization President and last year’s Basket Night Event Chair. We hope everyone is staying safe and enjoying their summer as much as possible during these difficult times.
For the past several months we have been waiting and hoping for more clarity on large indoor group gatherings as we had hoped to have our Basket Night in the fall. Unfortunately, it does not look like we will be allowed to gather anytime soon in the the way we hoped to.
With this in mind, we have decided to refund all funds paid for Tables and Value packs, Peloton and Yankee raffles.
- If you paid by check, and they were not deposited in the bank, they will be returned to you via your table captain.
- Anyone whose checks and cash were deposited, will be refunded. All refund checks will be made out to the table captain who will be responsible for disbursing the refunds to the attendees from their table.
- If you were not attending the auction, but had purchased the Ultimate raffles for the the Yankee Tickets or the Peloton raffle, your money will be refunded directly to you or your check will be returned to you.
Please note, the Parent Organization did have a significant fundraising shortfall this year due to the effects of the quarantine. If you would like to consider donating even a portion of your Basket Night submissions, it would be greatly appreciated and thankfully accepted.
We intend to begin the refunding process on August 15th, so if you would like to leave a portion of your Basket Night submissions as a donation, please respond to this email by Monday, August 10th with your name, table captain name and the amount you would like to donate.
***Please remember that all refunds and check returns will be sent through your table captains, except for those not attending the auction.***
Last, we intend to have a series of online raffles throughout the school year, beginning in September. We hope you will consider participating in this new and fun fundraising opportunity!
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we begin the refund process. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at:

Sincerely,
Jim Kelly
