HEF’s annual Royal Bash, is an epic event with both Silent and Live Auctions on Saturday, March 2, 2024 at The Metropolitan Ballroom in Golden Valley.

The Royal Bash attracts a crowd of 400+ guests who are eager to enjoy a social evening of dinner, dancing, games, decadent dessert, and fast-paced live & silent auctions. 
The Royal Bash typically raises more than $250,000 during the evening; to date, HEF has raised more than $3.6 million for Hopkins Public Schools.

The Royal Bash is the perfect way to position your company in front of Hopkins Public Schools’ families who not only support HEF but are also intentional about supporting local businesses. 
Items such as gift cards, certificates for services, one-of-a-kind experiences, and your business products can be used in our auctions at the Royal Bash. Sponsorships, direct donations and gift cards can help us to purchase items for the big event.

Hopkins Public Schools serve nearly 7,000 students in Hopkins as well as parts of six neighboring suburbs, including parts of Minnetonka, Golden Valley, Eden Prairie, Edina, Plymouth and St. Louis Park. 

We promote the Royal Bash to each of these families through: 

weekly school newsletters sent directly to families, flyers put into backpacks, social media targeted to caregivers at each school, print advertising within each of our nine school buildings & exposure on each building’s marquee
