The Cardinal Elementary School PTA is a 501c3 non-profit organization that supports the 700+ students who attend the Cardinal Elementary School in Arlington, VA, as well as their families and school staff. The PTA raises money that helps pay for teacher grants, support and appreciation; field trips; staff training; need-based scholarships for student enrichment classes; school events; supplies and equipment, and local charitable giving.

We are hosting our second annual fundraising auction, which includes an in-person silent and live auction, food, and dancing. Last year we sold over 350 tickets to the event; we expect to sell even more this year. This is our largest fundraising event of the year and money raised from the auction funds a significant portion of our annual PTA budget. This year we are using a portion of the funds raised to pay for class field trips for two Title I elementary schools in Arlington.
