Overview

Started in 1984, the annual auction involves the entire school and much of the community.

  • Saturday Silent Auction - Pre-Gala, we invite the community to come and "shop" for great deals: weekend get-a-ways, restaurant gift cards, premium wines, birthday party packages and lots more! This event is free and open to everyone  21 and over.
  • Saturday Night - A formal gourmet dinner, silent auction, and premier live auction with a professional auctioneer. A purchased ticket is required to attend-21 and over. This is the event of the year celebrating community and raising funds that directly benefit our children.

We strive for 100% attendance participation from school families and have made it convenient by offering a silent auction in the afternoon and the Gala dinner and live auction in the evening. It's a fun evening and our children benefit in a big way.

Why Do We Do It?

The annual auction is critical to CKS and is the most important fund raising activity of the year. The proceeds have an immediate impact on the quality of the learning experience at CKS. Due to the generosity of previous year's donations, we were able to fund programs such as state-of-the-art science kits (including the WeatherBug program), K-8th grade Spanish language instruction, a Learning Resource Specialist and MacBook laptops with cart. Perhaps more importantly, CKS provides educational opportunities to families who otherwise would not be able to send their children to their local parochial school.

This year our goal is to raise $100,000 net. This is a vital part of our core funding, generating approximately 10% of the school's annual budget. We will announce our fund-an-item in December.
