The annual Beach School Auction is in full swing!
The Online Auction ended on Sunday (4/20) and next up is the in-person auction event on Saturday, April 26th! The auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we need you there! Funds raised allow us to offer things like:
- SUN Community School, which offers free after-school enrichment programs to all students
- Teacher mini-grants
- Field trips
- Financial help to student and their families in need
FAQs about the in-person event:
What does my ticket include?
Tickets are $55 each and include dinner and an open bar all night long. The price helps us cover the cost of the event so that the money raised supports the school. With that said, we want everyone to participate in this fun evening, so if the ticket price is out of your budget, please email bcufundraising@gmail.com and we will set you up with a ticket free of charge!
Please note: This is a 21+ event.
What can I expect at the auction?
Bid on items during the silent auction starting at 6:00
Participate in fun activities and raffles
Enjoy a buffet dinner (starting at 7:00)
Live auction starts at 8:00
Dance, drink, and mingle!
Check-out will begin around 9:45, and you’re welcome to stay until we close it down at 11pm
What's the vibe?
This is a FUN event! It's a great chance to get to know the Beach community in a relaxed, adults-only atmosphere. In addition to bottomless beverages and dinner, there will be a dance floor with a DJ, a beautiful venue, and (if the weather cooperates) an outdoor fire pit. Wondering what to wear? Obviously, anything you want (you do you!) but we’d say "smart casual" suits the venue (your favorite jeans with a nice top, a fun dress, etc.)
What’s on the menu?
Empanadas, vegetarian paella, salmon, chicken adobo + more, followed by dessert bites, all from BIPOC-owned catering business Flower Catering. Stormbreaker Brewing is providing beer; and wine and lemonade will be flowing all night too.
What can I win?
The event features a silent auction first, followed by a live auction. There are some amazing items to bid on at the silent auction, including theater tickets, wine tastings, local ceramics, fitness classes and more. The live auction features some larger packages, including vacation getaways, an estate planning package, and a deluxe spa retreat - just to name a few!
Oh what the heck... here's a sneak peek of the auction catalog!
