Why DREAM? Because we Dare to Reach for Excellence at Archbishop Murphy. We know that if we provide our students with the tools they need, they will go out and change the world. But to do that they need help, they need the finest teachers, the most robust co-curricular activities, and the highest quality campus. The funds from this event are designed to support the foundation for our students to reach their dreams. Your generosity tonight is deeply appreciated and will contribute greatly to our ability to help our students fulfill our mission. Our goal for this year’s auction is $300,000. Of that goal, we are aiming for a Fund-A- Need goal of $50,000. The Fund-A-Need tonight is to generate funds to “Protect Our Legacy” at AMHS. This means enhancing our campus while at the same time creating spaces and opportunities to celebrate the accomplishments of our current and past students. Thank you for your generosity this evening. I know we are going to have a special night filled with special moments and I know that with your help with can have a successful, beautiful DREAM. God bless you, your families, and our school. In Christ, Matthew Schambari Saturday January 30, 2016 Page 3 2016 AMHS DREAM Dinner and Auction 2015 AMHS DREAM Dinner and Auction Note from AMHS Principal One of my fondest memories from high school was the year I volunteered to work as a busboy at the Gonzaga Prep auction. I was amazed at the generosity of the parents and the celebration of our school community. Those of us on the football team were so proud of the fact our autographed football sold for five times the listed opening bid. As students we witnessed the love and support the families felt for our school. Now that I realize how much people sacrifice to send their children to Catholic schools, I fully understand the importance of events such as the AMHS DREAM Auction. I am proud to celebrate my 14th year in Catholic education and send my two children to Archbishop Murphy High School. Over the years my wife and I have attended and supported their school auctions at All Saints (Spokane), St. Alphonsus, and Holy Rosary as well as my school auctions at Gonzaga Prep and Archbishop Murphy. We have enjoyed interacting with colleagues and parents, and left knowing we helped to support Catholic education and programs to enhance the schoolhouse. While the evening is a fun filled celebration for the parents, what makes the auction such a meaningful event is the funding it helps provide for the education and faith formation of our students. Thank you for blessing us with your presence and your support of our school community. May God bless you and your families. Peace, Steve Schmutz Saturday January 30, 2016 Page 4 2016 AMHS DREAM Dinner and Auction 2015 AMHS DREAM Dinner and Auction Note from DREAM Auction Chairs It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 2016 Archbishop Murphy High School DREAM Auction and Dinner Event!
