We are so excited for the Rock On, St John Auction on Friday, March 19! Have you registered yet? Have you ordered your food and cocktails? Remember – as our auction is virtual this year – ANYONE can attend the auction, no matter where they are. So invite grandparents, neighbors, and friends who love the color purple to join the fun and register at Bidding for Good.
Even in this virtual setting, we still need your help on auction day! Please consider signing up to help us out on auction day. We need assistance preparing for and producing our drive-thru auction experience. Sign Up Here to Volunteer.
Raffle tickets went home with your youngest St. John student last week. Tickets are $5 each. All sold and unsold tickets must be turned in by March 19. The $2,500 cash prize drawing will be held during the live auction on March 19! If your youngest student is learning remotely, you can pick up your ticket envelope at the front desk of the Admin Building. Please contact fundraising@st-johnschool.org if you would like additional tickets.
We are truly grateful for the support the St. John community has given us in the past. Because of people like you, we are able to fulfill our mission and, through Fair Share, be the most accessible Catholic school in Seattle. As you know, the unexpected expenses of the pandemic have created stress on the St. John operating budget, with COVID-related costs totaling more than $100,000. These expenses were necessary to return students to on-campus learning while ensuring that the safety of our teachers, staff, and students remained paramount.
As our auction will be virtual, with a shorter program than when held in person, we would love to have your commitment prior to the auction date. This will allow us to showcase the generosity of our community and thank all those who are giving to St John to ensure that our school can continue to be an inclusive Catholic community, inspiring moral development, academic excellence and the courage to act for the common good.
If you prefer to pay by check, please note Fund-a-Need in the memo and send to: Attn: Auction, St. John School,120 N. 79th Street, Seattle, WA 98103. You can also pay by credit card through the Bidding for Good website beginning March 15.
