Please join us in supporting another great local cause.

Holy Cross Lutheran School is celebrating its 𝟏𝟕𝟓𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫. Yes, you read that correctly. To commemorate the special milestone, the school is holding a dinner auction fundraiser, and the community is welcome!

Holy Cross Lutheran Church is the oldest Lutheran congregation in Saginaw, and is in its 177th year. Its school, which includes Preschool through 8th grade, has been the congregation's primary ministry, and is a mainstay in the heart of Saginaw.

You can help support the school by purchasing tickets and/or become an event sponsor by donating goods or services for the live and silent auctions.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will help support the school's playground fund.

Tickets are $50 each and includes dinner, auctions, and an evening of celebrating their shining anniversary!

We have a supply of tickets at our office for pick up at 1218 N. Michigan Ave., Saginaw. 𝘊𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦. However, if you or your business want to support the event in other ways, such as host a full dinner table for you and your guests, provide a service or item for the auction, or take advantage of other sponsoring opportunities, you can contact the school directly at (𝟗𝟖𝟗) 𝟕𝟗𝟑-𝟗𝟕𝟗𝟓 or visit their website at 𝐡𝐭𝐭𝐩𝐬://𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥.𝐡𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧.𝐜𝐨𝐦/𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭/

Thank you for your help.
