"Winthrop's Night for Newtown" Sunday, December 23 at the Winthrop Yacht
 Club from 4pm-7pm.  Bring your families as we come together to raise
funds to benefit Newtown, CT.  Santa will be making an appearance, there
 will be activities for younger kids (hosted by the WHS Student Council

Music Matters. There will be tons of raffles and gifts donated by local
businesses.   Tickets are $20.00 for adults and children under 18 (must
be accompanied by parents/guardians) are free.  Tickets can be purchased
 at Christopher's Flowers, Law Office of Chris Tsiotos & Winthrop
School of Performing Arts as of 2pm on Wednesday.  Tickets will also be
available at the door.


The High Rollers 100/100 Raffle:  Only 100 tickets will be sold for the
chance to win a grand prize of $2500!  Tickets are $100. Odds are great
for a chance to win $2500 before Christmas! Tickets can be obtained by
emailing board@vikingpride.org.


This event is a team effort comprised of the following groups:

How can you help?  Donations of raffle items such as gift certificates, wine baskets, airline tickets, time shares, sporting events and concerts  would be greatly appreciated.  These items may be dropped off at the
Law Office of Chris Tsiotos, 193 Winthrop St, Winthrop.

Gold, Silver, Bronze and Supporter business sponsorships are available by emailing board@vikingpride.org.

Proceeds: Proceeds from this event will go directly to Newtown, CT. Superintendent Macero will be reaching out to the Superintendent in Newtown to see exactly what she needs.  For example, she may need money to start an after school support group, rehab a classroom in their replacement building or provide a teacher appreciation.  We want to be as helpful as possible, but unfortunately we wont know exactly what that  is until the healing process progresses. Winthropites should have confidence that the Superintendent and Chairman of our trusted Winthrop charities consisting of the Viking Pride Foundation, Winthrop Charities
and The 11 Foundation will ensure that the money is put to its best possible use.
