Top 5 Ways that YOU can help make Bulldog Bash a success!
Top 5 Ways that YOU can help make Bulldog Bash a success!

There are less than 4 weeks until the Bash and tickets are selling fast! Purchase yours now before tickets sell out!  General admission is only $35 and includes entry to the auction, two drinks, dinner from Triola’s Kitchen, late night snacks from La Mex, and a GOOD TIME!  You can buy tickets for staff members too!  

You can also help by becoming a sponsor and/or donating to the auction.  

Once you register, you can get ready to buy!  

And most importantly–spread the word!  Share our Facebook event and invite your friends.  

Not sure what Bulldog Bash is?  Here’s the scoop:  It’s fun.  It’s casual.  It’s not your elementary school auction.  We will raise money for Heights High School, but more than anything we will come together with parents, staff, alumni, and community members (adults only) to celebrate the Heights High School community.  April 13, 7-11pm, at the SPJST Lodge, 1435 Beall Street, Houston, TX  77008.


Heights staff members - check your email for a link to request tickets!
