Pacelli Catholic Schools 100 year all-school reunion capped off Monday, Aug. 26, with the grand prize 2013 Dodge Avenger going to Fran and Diane Baudoin of Dexter.

The Baudoins, who had purchased their raffle ticket at a St. Augustine’s mass, said they were surprised and grateful.

“This is awesome,” Diane said in a press release. “Timing is good, as our 1999 car just hit 200,000 miles, so we were due to trade up soon.”

The winners of Pacelli’s raffle were announced at the Saturday night concert at Marcusen Park, which was co-sponsored by Pacelli and the Austin ArtWorks Festival. The drawing was done between the performances of Martin Zellar & The Hardways and Cloud Cult.
