The Fund-raising Committee for Gambol 2004 held a ceremony commemorating the first-ever brick fund-raiser on June 18. The project involved the creation and installation of bricks, engraved with messages to past and present Schreiber graduates, in an octagonal design around the Schreiber High School flagpole. The sales, at $100 per brick, netted profits of nearly $22,000. In total, the fund-raising efforts for Gambol 2004, themed The Enchanted Castle, have garnered approximately $75,000, the leftovers of which will be used to offset the cost of the Gambol video by $10 and then donated to the cause of Gambol 2005.
