Event Details and Schedule
Marquette Catholic High School will hold its annual Homecoming Block Party on Saturday, September 21, in front of the school at 219 E. 4th Street, Alton. The event promises to bring together alumni, parents, students, and community members for a night of celebration, entertainment, and prizes.
A Community Celebration
Maggie Kohl, Marquette’s new Director of Alumni Relations, expressed her excitement about the event.
“This is a great event to bring together our alumni, parents, past parents, and everyone in the Marquette Catholic family,” said Kohl. “While we will draw the $50,000 Mega Raffle and free tuition tickets, you don’t need to buy Mega Raffle tickets to attend. We just want everyone in the Marquette community to come have fun and celebrate all things Marquette Catholic with their friends.”
Prizes and Raffles
The highlight of the evening will be the drawing for the $50,000 Mega Raffle, scheduled for 9:45 PM. Even if attendees don’t purchase raffle tickets, they will still have a chance to win a $500 attendance prize, provided they are present at the time of the drawing.
Entertainment and Food
The night will feature live music from Howl at the Moon, a renowned dueling pianos group from Chicago. The band will perform from 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM.
Food and drinks will be available starting at 6:00 PM, including pulled pork and pulled chicken dinners with a side of coleslaw or potato salad, and chips for $15. Non-alcoholic beverages, as well as beer and wine, will be sold for $5. Covered seating will be provided under tents, courtesy of St. Peters Hardware and Rental.
