(August 28-Youngstown, OH)- On Sunday, August 28th, the Marketing Committee of the Cardinal Mooney High School Board sponsored the 1st Annual Back to School Bash at Cassese’s MVR Restaurant, located at 410 N. Walnut St., Youngstown, 44505. Over 400 students, staff and families joined in a day of feasting, fellowship and fundraising to kick off the 2016-17 academic year. MVR catered a dinner and members of the Cardinal Mooney Community provided baked goods and candies for a Mahoning Valley styled Cookie Table.
The Bash was preceded by a Corn Hole Tournament with proceeds going to the Carmine L. Cassese Memorial Scholarship. The Tournament raised over $1200 for the cause. Winners, CMHS alumni Gino Divincenzo and Joe Cunningham, donated their cash prize to the Carmine L. Cassese Memorial Scholarship Fund. The Mooney Family also collected donations for the Lauren Bowman Fund to assist the family of the recently deceased St. Christine’s student.
