HIGHLIGHTS & HAPPENINGS
Villabration 2019
Hundreds of friends enjoyed a special
evening of fun and fundraising to
benefit St. Ursula Villa’s outstanding
educational programs. Held Saturday,
April 13 on the Villa’s campus, “Game
Night at the Villa” raised over $230,000
through Silent and Live Auctions.
During “the party of the year” for our
entire Villa community, our departing
eighth-grade families served as honorary
Villabration chairs as we said “thank
you” for being instrumental to our Villa
community in ways big and small.
Principal Polly Duplace thanked
attendees, volunteers, donors, and
sponsors for making the event a huge
success. Clever and colorful game-
themed decorations and centerpieces
added to the festive event while
auctioneer Doug Sorrell led spirited
bidding on amazing items.
Keith and Jessica Hall participated in Silent Auction games of chance.
Isla Vogelpohl raised her paddle for a Live Auction item to the delight of her table mates
Nirvana Patel and Rachel Miller.
The Live Auction included a Special
Appeal to continue funding the St. Ursula
Villa Emergency Family Tuition Fund
to assist families with unforeseen
temporary setbacks that impact their
child’s ability to remain at the Villa.
St. Ursula Villa is grateful for our
two generous Event Sponsors - Home
City Ice and Merrill Lynch Wealth
Management Advisors including The
Evelo Singer Sullivan Group, Michael
Frey, The Haddad Group, Dan Hass/
River Hills Group, The Murphy Group,
John Payton, and Mark Ryan.
