The Somerville High Scholarship Foundation held its annual $10,000 dollar drawing this past Friday night, May 16, at the Highlander Café at SHS. A group of about 60 people attended the event, which was hosted by the foundation’s president, Joe Favaloro, and everyone’s favorite former mayor, Eugene Brune.

Out of 250 possible ticket sales, they started the evening with about 235 sold. Lots of door prizes were given out, with every 10th ticket called earning its holder $100 back until the final 10 numbers were left. The ones left could choose to go on or split the money. The evening ended up with eight finalists, all of who choose to stop and split so each person won $1,250.

The final three representing themselves that were present and choosing to split were Alderman at Large Ms. Mary Jo Rossetti, Ms. Paula Mackey and Ms. Pinkham. It was a great night -as always- and the following announcement was made to everyone present: This upcoming year marks the 25th anniversary of the SHS Foundation, and it was announced that the foundation raised over $1.2 million with a special announcement coming soon of over $1.5 million. Their hard work over the years has helped many students at Somerville High with their education costs. The committee will be holding a 25th anniversary dinner to mark the event this year with a date to be determined.
