Description
Our auction continues to be Thornton Academy’s only fundraising event; it funds critical programming, expands academic opportunities, provides free breakfast and lunch for students in-need, and enhances campus life.
For the past 2 years, we have held a hybrid event with an online ‘silent’ auction as well as an in-person event on campus with a ‘live’ auction.
This year’s auction will be held virtually for online bidding May 15-19, 2023. The auction will conclude with a live, in-person, outdoor event on May 20, 2023 starting at 5:30pm.
