This year marks 23 years for the Somerville High Scholarship Foundation. About 75 to 80 board members, friends and supporters of the Foundation had their annual $10K drawing this past Friday night.

Everyone had fun and lots of door prizes were handed out. The winners were the last 10 ticket holders standing. They decided to split it with $1K each. This hard working committee has raised over $1,200,000 in 23 years from donations and fundraisers like this annual $10K ticket drawing.

The amazing hard work over the years by everyone associated with this foundation, and the many students that are served and helped by them is very much appreciated.

If you’d like to donate or help to raise funds they have a “Buy a Brick” program. You can purchase one with your name or any kind of inscription on the brick. Contact SHS foundation, P.O. Box 440275, Somerville 02144.
