48th Annual Pasta Dinner & Basket Raffle

Thursday, March 26, 2026 at 5:00pm

The Montessori Community Association’s Annual Pasta Dinner & Basket Raffle is our biggest fundraiser of the year and how we raise over 85% of our funds. The funds raised allow the MCA to continue to fund activities that benefit our students, teachers, staff and families. This year our goal is to raise $10,000. For more information about how the funds raised by the MCA are used to support the school check out our fundraising page: Fundraising-Bennett Park Montessori

The event is hosted at Bennett Park Montessori and is open to the public. It is attended by many of our families, teachers, staff and community members who look forward to reconnecting at the event each year. The optional Pasta dinner is hosted in our gym and catered by a local restaurant. 100+ raffle prizes are staged in the Common Hall and include themed baskets, gift card and some larger “Big Ticket” items (think: bikes, gaming systems, tvs!). Many of the raffle items are donated by local businesses, solicited by MCA volunteers and staff. Teachers, staff, students and families contribute through collective classroom theme baskets and individual donations. It truly is a community event!

Tickets for the Pasta Dinner, Raffle Tickets, and “Big Ticket” item can be purchased online in advance (link will be posted soon!) or at the door. We hope to see you there!
