Ping Pong Derby Roll

Dim lights

A light rain and drizzle on October 17th had little effect on St. Raphael School setting a Guinness Book of World Record, albeit “unofficial”, as 5,000 ping pong balls were released from a high atop Eilings Park and propelled down the narrow course into a funnel where the first 20 balls came up winners for the lucky ticket holders.

1^st Place $1,500

2^nd Place - $500

3rd Place, Flat Screen T.V.

The event proceeds, which netted approximately $12,000 and included donations from businesses outside the school community, went into a separate school fund to support capital, endowment, and the scholarship needs of the school.

A big thank you to the school’s Development Committee who worked countless hours to ensure that the event went off as a big success.
