SMOGA 2002 hosts fundraiser at National Theatre to refurbish science labs

The St. Mary’s Old Girls’ Association (SMOGA) 2002 Year Group successfully hosted a theatrical fundraiser at the National Theatre on October 17, 2026. In partnership with the renowned Roverman Productions, the event served as a major drive to raise funds for the refurbishment of science laboratories at St. Mary’s Senior High School. The initiative underscores the commitment of the alumni to support the educational foundation of their alma mater.

The evening featured a special screening of the play "I Do, I Don’t," written and produced by the acclaimed playwright Uncle Ebo Whyte. The production, known for its insightful and humorous exploration of relationships, drew a significant crowd of alumni, theater enthusiasts, and supporters. The collaboration with Roverman Productions highlights a strategic blend of arts and philanthropy, leveraging the popularity of Ghanaian theater to support critical educational infrastructure.

This fundraiser serves as a centerpiece of the 25th-anniversary celebrations for the SMOGA 2002 Year Group. Beyond the financial objectives, the event provided a platform for members to reconnect and celebrate their shared history. The National Theatre was vibrant with the group's traditional blue and white colors, creating an atmosphere of nostalgia and sisterhood as attendees gathered from across the country to participate in the milestone event.

Proceeds from the ticket sales and donations are earmarked specifically for upgrading the science facilities at St. Mary’s Senior High School. By modernizing these laboratories, the association aims to enhance the quality of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education for current and future students. This initiative reflects a broader trend among Ghanaian alumni groups taking an active role in maintaining and improving the facilities of their former institutions.
