Events & fundraisers

Get ready to kick off your high school journey with an unforgettable night of fun, friends, and Cardinal spirit! Cardinal Kickoff is a special event designed exclusively for incoming Crofton High School freshmen. It's the perfect opportunity to meet new classmates, reconnect with friends, and start building the memories that will shape your next four years.

Event Details:

Date: Sunday, August 23
Time: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
Location: Skate Zone, Gambrills
Cost: FREE
Who Can Attend: Crofton High School Freshmen Only

Hosted at Skate Zone in Gambrills, this event is not a skating event. Instead, the facility will be reserved for Crofton freshmen to enjoy a fun-filled evening of games, activities, music, prizes, and opportunities to connect with fellow students before the school year begins. 

Senior Sunrise is a special tradition to kick off your final year—giving you a chance to gather with friends and take in the moment as the sun rises over Crofton. Enjoy a relaxed morning with breakfast, music, and raffles while celebrating how far you’ve come together.

Bring a blanket or towel, wear your senior swag, and don’t miss this unforgettable start to senior year.

We need your ideas to make this event amazing! Join our planning meeting and share what YOU want Senior Sunrise to look like.

Purse Bingo is the primary fundraiser that supports ALL PTSO-sponsored senior events, from Senior Sunrise and Senior Sunset to After Prom and everything in between. This is our one major opportunity to raise the funds needed to make senior year truly unforgettable—and it only works if we come together as a community.

What is Purse Bingo?

It’s a fun, high-energy event where guests play bingo to win designer and specialty purses, along with incredible raffle and door prizes. There’s great food, lots of excitement, and a packed room full of community support—it’s always one of the best days of the year!
