HIGHLANDS RANCH , CO —The Trailblazer Education Alliance (TEA), the community organization that supports Trailblazer Elementary School, held a Family Fun Night event at Ranch View Middle School on Friday, February 8th. The event brought together members of the community surrounding Trailblazer Elementary School and capped off a fundraising drive to fund new playground equipment.

Nearly 600 people attended the event, which featured dinner, bingo, performances by the Trailblazer student choir, a silent auction, and party poppers that contained prizes donated by community merchants. Over 150 companies donated prizes and raffle items, which included a signed Rockies World Series baseball.

This year's event also included a classroom basket raffle. Each classroom from K-6 created a themed gift basket from items donated to the class. Themes ranged from "Queen for a day" to "Disney". The baskets were raffled off at the end of the night. The class with the gift basket that received the most tickets will receive a $50 Visa card.
