On Saturday, May 9, the Heritage High School Patriots Athletic Boosters hosted its annual fundraising dinner at the Brentwood Vets Hall. Guests enjoyed a delicious pasta dinner prepared by Grazie Restaurant and served by the Heritage coaches. The bar was also tended by the Heritage coaching staff, and DJ Richard Flory filled the air with music. The ticket price for the dinner also included an annual pass that includes entry to all home games (yes, football too).

Throughout the evening, silent auction items such as golf foursomes, Letterman jackets, Heritage team-signed balls and pro sports memorabilia were available for bidding, as well as live auction items that included Homecoming 50-yard-line reserved seating and graduation tickets. A 50/50 cash raffle, jewelry raffle, and a lucky winner won the grand prize drawing for a 52-inch Sony 1080p HD TV! Other raffle prizes included Sony 32-inch and 40-inch 1080 LCD HD TVs, golf foursomes, auto detailing, family bowling passes, etc. The Booster merchandise trailer was parked out front, offering discounted spirit wear and gear.

The Booster staff would like to thank the following for their support: the Swisher family, Brentwood Golf Club, Deer Ridge Golf Club, Shadow Lakes Golf Club, Marples Real Estate, Grad Nite Committee, Roddy Ranch Golf Club, Brentwood Embroidery, Casey’s Auto Body, Bill Brandt Ford – Steve Meister, Jalisco’s Restaurant, Digger’s Diner, Edible Arrangements, Discovery Bay Studios, Sports Bar & Steakhouse, the Goodson family, the O’Shea family, Maggiorre Ranch, the Kurtz family, Nines Restaurant, Rubia Hair Salon – Sherry Lindsten, Scrap Diva, Pat Cruickshank, C&R Memorabilia, Gent Jay Jewelers, Tao San Jin Restaurant, Harvest Park Bowl, Club One, Andy Parsons, Enos Family Vineyards, American Electric, Miche Purses/Kara Lotz, Generations Photo, and Vic Stewarts.
