A long-standing St. Pius School community tradition, the annual auction is our largest community celebration and a critical fundraising event that secures financial support for exceptional faculty and programming, and other vital resources that benefit all our students. It is our biggest fundraiser of the year and 100% of the net proceeds fund additional resources for our students. The auction is also one of the great community-building events we host here at St. Pius School.
How do I RSVP to attend the Auction?
Please pre-check-in for the event in-person on either Thursday, October 31st or Friday, November 1st to avoid night0f check-in lines. Your reservation includes hors d'oeuvres, dinner, dancing and entertainment. Drink wristbands and VIP tables are available for purchase when you buy your tickets. Additional bottles of wine will be available for purchase at the event. Note that it will be a drink wristband-only event, so please makre sure to buy yours in advance.
Can I choose my own table or seat?
Guests are welcome to organize a table (up to parties of 8) and request each other when submitting your RSVP, but that's not the only way! Requests will be honored as best as possible; some will have to be accommodated accordingly if the requests do not work. We have a dedicated group of volunteers who will make sure you are at a great table with other parents in your child's grade. To guarantee a complete table for your guests or preferred group, please consider a VIP table for your party.
What should I wear?
The dress Code will be cocktail attire. Visit our Cirque de Soiree Lookbook for inspiration (Coming Soon)
