March Mayhem
On Saturday, March 28, 2009 the Bronxville School’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA) held its major fundraiser for 2009: The March Mayhem Bash. The event was a great success with over 400 people in attendance and over $200,000 raised for the school. In addition to dinner and dancing, the event included an extensive silent auction of internship opportunities, vacations, sports tickets and an extensive wine auction. And as luck would have it, one of the most exciting games in the March Madness tournament was played on Saturday night and aired on a big screen at the club, providing great entertainment and revving up the enthusiasm in the room. The PTA is incredibly grateful to the event co-chairs, Melinda Dempsey and Jennifer Mackesy, and to their entire committee of volunteers for all of their hard work. Many thanks are also owed to the greater school community – administrators, teachers, custodial staff, parents, students and local residents - for supporting the event in its organization, attendance, and in auction participation. It was a terrific school-wide effort and a great testament to the strength of the Bronxville School and community.
