Connelly
School received a future luncheon fundraiser at the Anaheim White House in an August 31 awards ceremony at the restaurant, which was attended by 400 people representing local charities.
The Catholic high school in
Anaheim was among 218 applicants for the luncheons valued at $5,300 each. Anaheim White House owner Bruno Serato chose 189 of the applicants to receive the luncheons on assigned dated through 2015, which he encouraged the recipients to use as fundraising events for their charities. The luncheons for 100 guests include Serato's donation of a three-course menu, room rental fee and non-alcoholic beverages.

This additional fundraising opportunity will allow Connelly to raise additional funds to invest in Connelly's next 50 years - with science and technology, campus improvements and endowment as priorities.
