School & Parish Auction

Download the 2012 Official Bid Program

Every year in March, St. Agnes hosts a live and silent auction with all proceeds benefiting the school and parish. A large community of volunteers work year round on this popular event. This year’s auction is Saturday, March 10, 2012. Tickets are $25 a person and include admission, food and beverages. The event is held from 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. at the school. All donations and advertising must be received prior to January 31, 2012. St. Agnes is a not-for-profit charitable organization; so your contribution may be tax deductible. Your support is welcome!

There are a number of ways you can participate…

• Donate an item or service to be auctioned
  You can donate an item to be included in the live or silent auction. Popular items include vacation homes, sports tickets, dinners, and various services. We love handcrafted items from our parishioners. A basket of items centered around a theme would be appreciated. If you need an idea, contact any member of our auction committee. Any individual donating an item or items worth more than $150, or a couple whose donation is $200 or greater is eligible for “Early Bird Admission.” Early Bird gains you early access the evening of the auction to preview items first.   To be included in the auction bid book your donation needs to be received no later than January 31.
