BAYONNE – Raising funds for needy families of Marist High School students is the goal behind the “A Taste of Marist” fundraiser event on Tuesday, April 21 at 6 p.m. in the school’s gym.
The event hopes to attract community members by providing dinner and dessert tastings from some of the area’s best restaurants and caterers, having student artwork on display, and presenting a live musical performance
Monies raised will allow the school to provide tuition assistance to families in financial need.
“This event is a great way for the community to come together and really help each other out,” said Chief Advancement Officer Chris Hansen, Class of ’99. “We want to raise funds to help our families in need, all while eating good and enjoying the night.”
Bayonne and Jersey City restaurants will provide sample-sized servings of their signature dishes to those who attend.
