Support Rancho Bernardo High at pasta dinner on March 30

You can skip making supper on Monday night and support Rancho Bernardo High at the same time by attending its fourth annual pasta dinner.

The fundraiser will be 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Monday, March 30 in the Rancho Bernardo High School gymnasium, 13010 Paseo Lucido. Tickets are $10, sold in advance and at the door.

Each ticket includes a coupon for a free kabob chicken or veggie at any Luna Grill restaurant, an offer worth $6.50, said Teri Wyness, who is co-chairing the dinner with Denise Davis.

Those not able to eat at the event can request a “to go” plate, Wyness added.

For $10 attendees will receive pasta, salad, bread and water. They also have the option of buying desserts from the school’s Parent Teacher Student Association and Associated Student Body, plus hot chocolate and coffee from RBHS Friends of the Library, she said.

“We are hoping to meet or exceed last year’s (ticket sales),” Wyness said. In 2014, 699 tickets were sold in advance and another 89 tickets were purchased at the door. The group fed 557 attendees, up from the 385 who showed up in 2013. She added there was $7,880 raised through ticket sales and the teams and groups involved received 50 percent of that.

Proceeds go to the RBHS Foundation to be used for special projects on campus, such as quarterly campus cleanups and supporting new elective classes in the coming school year, Wyness said. In addition, $5 of every ticket sold by a team or group goes directly to that entity to offset their program costs like transportation, spirit packs and other program needs.

This year advance tickets can be purchased from anyone involved with the football, track and field, gymnastics, boys golf and boys lacrosse teams; plus Best Buddies, RBHS Foundation, RBHS Friends of the Library, ASB and PTSA.

In addition to the dinner, the foundation will be conducting a silent auction that evening. Among the items up for bid will be four Disneyland one-day Park Hopper passes, restaurant and store gift cards plus Starbucks coffee baskets.
