Description

Extravaganza was started in 1982, as a dinner and auction, by a group of determined parents and volunteers. Over the past 40+ years, it has raised over $5 Million.

Extravaganza is our largest yearly fundraiser; it is a hybrid event that consists of a live portion which includes a dinner with a silent and live auction. Simultaneously while this is happening all the silent auction items are located and available to bid on virtually. All proceeds from this event go directly into the operating budget of the school which enables us to dedicate more funds to scholarships for students in need.

  • It is a live two-evening event…

 

Thursday, October 5, 2023, is the Family & Donor Night, held from 6 to 8:00 pm in the school gymnasium. All parents, alumni, friends, and donors are invited to be guests of the school for refreshments and a chance to bid on the silent auction items and homeroom basket auction. It is our “Thank You” for contributing to the success of the auction.

 

Saturday, October 7, 2023, beginning at 6pm, is the Extravaganza dinner/auction for over 250 people. The evening includes hors d’oeuvres, open bar, silent and live auctions, raffle drawing, music, and entertainment @ $150.00 per person. Look for your invitation in early September.

 

  • Although our event culminates in two nights, silent auction items, raffle tickets and donations are all available to be bid on, purchased, or accepted online beginning one week before the live event. Anyone is welcome to participate on our Auction website whether near or far. There is no bidding fee to participate online
  • Extravaganza is truly a year-round commitment from our volunteers. It takes hours of dedication and commitment to prepare for these special evenings.

 

  • More important for you to know is that the funds raised at Extravaganza go directly back into the school.
