The Have-A-Heart Auction is Hamilton PTA’s largest fundraiser of the year. The purpose of out PTA is to bring together parents, students and school staff to connect and develop programs and activities that benefit all students. The PTA provides funds for all teachers to purchase classroom supplies, take students on field trips, purchase library books and much more. Through our fundraising we are also able to have full school events such as our annual Science Night and Harvest Festival which provide us opportunities to not only teach our students but to build community.

In addition to the funds raised for the Hamilton PTA, the annual fundraiser also funds RISE Scholars which is a nonprofit dedicated exclusively to providing opportunity for the students at Hamilton School. The programs include: RISE Interventional tutoring for Math and Reading for our 2nd-4th grade students ensuring that ALL 2nd and 3rd graders are at grade level. Recreational and Competitive Athletics, Recreational, Recreational and Competitive Chess, and 5 weeks of Academic Summer School for 2nd-8th grade students. In addition, we support Mentor Hamilton, a One-on- One mentor program for students in all grades, school supplies for all students, and the giving tree. RISE Scholars, Inc.

Hamilton serves its entire community and economic spectrum, including children of the affluent and poor. Approximately 74% of our students are socio-economically disadvantaged.

Supporting the auction helps us reach the hearts and minds of our student population while you reach the broader Hamilton and Marin community, hundreds of potential customers who visit our auction, and invest in your employees and customers of tomorrow.

Your sponsorship can and will have an immediate and lifelong impact as you open up worlds of learning, creativity, and possibilities.
