What is the Online Auction? The Online Auction is filled with an array of items donated by local businesses and families including items for your home, dining gift certificates, travel, kids' camps, activities and family fun. There is also a great array of events for kids, families and parents. In previous years, this event successfully raised over $100K for our schools, and we count on this revenue to assist us in achieving our $1.5M annual fundraising goal.
Time frame: Mid-December through early March. We provide you with contacts to local businesses to request great donations for our catalog. This is done through email outreach (we provide the email for you to send!) and/or phone calls and visits to the business if needed. You choose the number of accounts you would like. The success of our online auction depends on generous donations and we need a strong team to make it happen.
Time frame: Mid-February to early March. Calling all copywriters and editors! Dive into this fantastic gig from home, flexing your skills on auction package descriptions.
Time frame: Mid-January to early March. We're on the lookout for a few fun and organized individuals to shadow this year's Party Coordinators so that you are ready to step into a lead role in 2026.
