Let’s GET IN THE GAME FOR SAINT CHRIS!

We are so excited for our MARCH MADNESS theme and the fun night we have planned for parents, alumni, and friends of the Academy! 

As our largest fundraiser of the year, the Auction provides essential financial resources for our academic, extracurricular, technology, and financial aid programs. Last year, we raised over $120,000 in direct support of the students of Saint Chris, including $31,000 in Faith in Action funds for safety and security improvements at both campuses. 

You can make a SLAM DUNK of a difference for the students of Saint Chris by supporting this year’s 21st Annual Auction! We are thrilled to offer the following ELITE EIGHT opportunities below for you, your family, or your business to be our Auction X-FACTOR and take the night over the top!

SPONSORSHIPS

Join us as a proud sponsor of the Auction and reach hundreds of parents, friends, alumni, and community members! Leveled Auction sponsorships offer a myriad of benefits and range from $250 to $10,000. Custom (and fun!) opportunities, like dessert, cocktail hour, and wine pull sponsorships, are also available. Special Note: While sponsorships are a great marketing opportunity for businesses, they are also a wonderful way for families to thank their teachers or congratulate upcoming graduates! For more information or to purchase a sponsorship, please click HERE.

Many thanks to these amazing businesses who have already purchased sponsorships!

ITEM DONATIONS

Our thrill-a-minute Silent and Live Auctions are a big hit with our Auction attendees and help us to raise important funds for the Academy. Donations of new items of any value are always needed and greatly appreciated! Need some ideas? Gift cards, themed baskets, new technology, and fabulous experiences are always popular, as is time in vacation homes both near and far! Did you receive a Christmas gift that just isn’t you or something you’ll never use…you can donate that, too! Another great way to help is to ask your favorite restaurant or store to make a donation...many are glad to donate! All donations need a donation form so we know who to give tax credit to. To complete an online item donation form, please click HERE. Donations can also be brought directly to either campus to the attention of Marta Nissen.

AMAZON WISHLIST

The Auction Committee has been working hard since September to plan this fabulous evening and they could use a little help with decor and candy table supplies. Check out the Amazon Wishlist HERE for a quick and easy way to support the Auction! Items may be added over the next few weeks as the need arises…be sure to check the list a few times before the big night!

CLASS BASKETS

Themed baskets are VERY popular at our event! In addition to the wonderful baskets donated by individuals and businesses, each grade sponsors a special themed basket with the help of family donations.

1st Grade - Sweet Scoops Ice Cream Fun

2nd Grade - Creative Kids Craft Supplies

3rd Grade - Lego Lovers

4th Grade - Nerf Nation

WINE PULL

Everyone’s a winner in our Wine Pull! Donations of bottles of wine, valued at $15 or more per bottle, will help us offer this very popular revenue generator to our guests. Auction attendees have the opportunity to purchase a mystery bottle of wine. During the Live Auction, the wine bottles are unwrapped all at once…and one very special bottle is wrapped with a $100 bill! So fun!  Wine donations (Red, white, sparkling….surprise us with your favorite variety!) can be dropped off at either campus to Marta Nissen’s attention. Please be sure to attach a note with your name and the value of the wine so we can give you proper tax credit!

6

BOURBON PULL

After a VERY popular debut at last year's Auction, we are excited to offer a Bourbon Pull again this year! Just like the Wine Pull, guests purchase a mystery bottle of bourbon…with the chance to win a top shelf bottle of bourbon AND an extra $100! Donations of bourbon with a minimum value of $35 are appreciated and can be brought to either campus to Marta Nissen’s attention. Like the wine donations, please be sure to attach a note with your name and the value of the donation so we can give you proper tax credit!

TICKET FOR A TEACHER

Aren’t our teachers GREAT? Thank them for a job well done by being a Ticket for a Teacher sponsor! Our teachers work hard all day, every day in the classroom…they deserve a night out! Teacher ticket sponsorships can be purchased online as an “Add On” when purchasing your own tickets, by noting your Teacher Ticket sponsorship when returning the RSVP card that will accompany the formal invitation, or by emailing Marta at mnissen@saintchrisacademy.org.
