It takes us ALL to make the Auction Great!
We encourage all families to honor their tuition/pledge contract to procure or donate $250 for the Auction (“I understand each family is expected to procure or donate two (2) quality auction items or pay $250.00”). All money raised goes directly to the school’s Operating Budget.

Do you need help with deciding what to donate? Here are some items we still need:
- Sporting event tickets – Seahawks, UW games, Sounders, etc.
- Alcohol – bottles of wine, spirits, etc.
