Hillside Elementary's annual auction, A Night of Luck: Raffle and Auction Fundraiser, will be held on March 17, 2023 at Belmont Country Club in Ashburn, VA and will include hors d'oeuvres, cocktail bar, dancing, a silent auction, and basket raffles. Approximately 150 guests are expected to attend with exposure to over 400 Hillside families as well as our local Loudoun community. Funds raised from the auction will be utilized for age-appropriate and accessible playground improvements. Play is a critical part of early childhood education which helps children build social and emotional skills—such as communicating, operating within social structures, and developing bonds with others—and fosters physical and gross motor skills. Our goal is to upgrade our small and outdated playground to a larger and completely accessible, multi age-appropriate playground because we believe all students may better meet their potential when benefiting from outdoor play.

Donors are recognized prior to and during the event through our auction catalog, social media, and website. Logo marketing on signage at the event is available through sponsorships. Your donation will significantly help us meet our fundraising goal of $15,000 and bring us a step closer to making a new playground possible. 

The Hillside Organization of Parents and Educators (Hillside PTO) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides support and service to students, families, and educators of the Hillside community. Through fundraising, we are able to support our mission to strengthen, enhance and encourage the educational and social environment of Hillside Elementary.
