The Lakeshore Elementary PTA Spring Auction is an adults-only evening event comprised primarily of a silent auction for most items and a live auction for select items. It's our largest fundraiser of the year, and we hope to raise $25,000, which is 25% of our annual expenses.

We plan on serving appetizers and drinks, both non-alcoholic and alcoholic. There will be live music as well. Attendees will peruse physical items, showcased on tables, as well as displays of silent bid sheets for certificates and "Lakeshore Gatherings" sponsored by teachers and families. Larger donations will be auctioned via live auction.

Proceeds go toward supporting enrichment programs, sponsoring community-building events, and supplementing teachers' classroom budgets for trips and supplies. We are proud of educating the whole child, in part through our enrichment programs such as Art, Motor Perception, Science in the Garden, Poetry, Native American Culture, Yoga, Capoeira, and Choral Music, which are not covered by San Francisco Unified School District. Over 80% of what we spend goes back to students and families, and the rest goes toward administration; no one is paid on the PTA. As in past years, all donors will be recognized on our auction website, Facebook event page, and event brochure. We are happy to put out any promotional materials as well.
