More Than 300 Attend Foundation’s Annual Fundraiser

"A Comedy Night"

“A Comedy Night,” the Valhalla Schools Foundation's fifth annual fundraiser was a huge success with more than 300 residents of the community coming out to laugh, eat and drink to support the educational enrichment organization. The Foundation raised nearly $30,000, a new record, to be used to award grants to enrich the education of students K-12.

Headlining the evening was Emmy award winning Valhalla alumni, Kevin Meaney, who joked that even being 164th out of a class of 165, couldn't stop him from realizing his dream to be an entertainer. He regaled the crowd with stories of growing up in Valhalla and how it shaped who he is today. Meaney brought with him two comedian friends to join in the festivities, Chris Monty and Buddy Fitzgerald, who kept the crowd rolling with their biting humor.

Congresswoman Nita Lowey, Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner, and Superintendent of Schools Diane Ramos-Kelly attended and congratulated the Foundation on their success. Emcee's for the evening were Valhalla High School Principal Jon Thomas and Alumni Eric Goldrich, both noted for their onstage performances in community theatre.

Donations to the Foundation from teachers, private individuals, local vendors, as well as a complimentary wine tasting by The Wine Professionals, all contributed to the success of the fun-filled evening.
