It could have been a sophisticated nightclub in the 1930s or ‘40s with comfortable lounge seating, creative cocktails to quaff and a crooner singing American Songbook classics — but it wasn’t. Instead it was a “Knight” club, and the cocktail was called a “Marti-ni” named for Fr. Tony Marti, president of St. Francis High School.

The event, held at the Pasadena Convention Center’s Ballroom, was the school’s benefit called POSH (Preserving Our Scholastic Heritage) which takes place every other year.
The benefit offered the more than 400 guests who attended the opportunity to have a fabulous time while also supporting the school’s goal of raising $300,000 from the live and silent auctions, paddle raise and grand raffle. All of this was to support both the Fr. Matthew Elshoff, OFM Cap. Endowed Scholarship as well as the school’s current financial aid program.
