Thank you so much for making the 2007 Winter Wonderland Auction a huge success! We generated a profit of over $53,000 for our school. We were also able to purchase the needed white boards for the classrooms with the Raise Your Paddle Pledge.

 

Mark your calendars now for a star studded event. The 2008 Annual Auction,

Lights … Camera … AUCTION!

Tickets will be available in September.

 
General Information

The annual Auction is one of the greatest single fundraiser undertaken by the parent community in support of our school. All of the funds raised by the auction go directly to the operating budget of the school. The event is held at the Knights of Columbus Hall and consists of a silent auction, seated dinner, raffles, dancing and exciting live auction. Thanks to the valiant efforts of our parents and the wonderful support of the community, the auction is a very successful event which supports and celebrates the community of Ss. Peter and Paul School.
