Description

Financial assistance at Lowell directly supports our school’s mission to create an inclusive and diverse community of lifelong learners. Funds raised through the auction are exclusively directed to the financial assistance fund—which has rarely been more needed than it is now. Due to the pandemic, many families in our community face deep economic insecurity, increasing the need for financial aid, which has increased from 16% to 20% of Lowell’s budget.

With this in mind, the 39th Annual Auction will be held on February 6th, 2021. Last year’s auction raised more than $190,000 for tuition assistance, thanks to the generosity of businesses. With our new format, items donated will be featured online, and top items will be live auctioned. Bulk items can be included in the swag bag that will be distributed to all atendees. A donation form can be completed online at: www.lowell.auction or you can email us at lowellauction@lowellschool.org.

On behalf of Lowell’s students and teachers, we wholeheartedly thank you for your consideration. We look forward to showcasing your donation as we maintain Lowell’s principles of inclusion, diversity, social justice, and action. Thank you in advance for your support and generosity!
