Description

Our 33rd Auction & Gala is once again presented by Freedom Street Partners. This year we also celebrate the school's 60th Diamond anniversary! Our theme this year is "O Holy Night!" The Silent Auction will open online Monday, November 13th at 9 am with over 200 items and will close right after the in-person Live Auction ends at approximately 9:15pm on Saturday, November 18th. 30 Live Auction items will be up for bids! Live Auction will not be a Zoom or streamed event. Live Auction bidding will take place at the school with our Auctioneer extraordinaire, Scott Danner, back again to get everyone bidding on the great grade-level Class Packages, trips, and more!


We will be using the One Cause BidPal online and mobile application that was used last year. You and your guests are cordially invited to join us on November 18th at 5 pm for dinner, drinks, dancing, and fun at this adults-only event! Starting Monday, October 23rd you may purchase tickets or register for online Silent Auction bidding at https://smsvb.net/news-and-events/auction-and-gala/. The Live Auction will begin at 7:15 pm on November 18th at the school. Last year this event broke a 32-year record by raising $125,000!!! It is attended by 260-300 people.

All proceeds benefit the students and school.
