2018 Blue Tie Auction News
|
|
Every Person Counts!
Last year's Blue Tie Auction raised over $170,000 for our school, and kicked off the successful fundraising efforts that led to the completion of the new Library Resource Center. We could not have done it without YOU!
There are many ways to ensure that this year's event is just as successful! Here are the ways you can help:
- Attend! Having a vibrant community of school parents at the Auction is the heart of the event. Come and celebrate with us. You can purchase tickets online here. New to Ascension? We have set aside a table for every grade level. Just choose your table under 'seating assignments' and we'll make sure you are seated with other parents from your child's grade.
- Class Baskets! Be on the lookout for information regarding a pooled donation from each class for our silent auction. Each grade has a theme or goal. These are some of the most popular items ever year!
- Volunteer! It takes a lot of hands to make the set-up, event day and clean-up run smoothly. Email us if you'd like to help out!
- Donations! Family members, local businesses and alumni alike come together for the Auction. Make a donation, purchase an ad in the program or become an event sponsor!
