This fun adults-only event is a chance to get out for the night, mingle with other Alcuin parents, make new friends, and support the school. It is a great night out, and 100% of the net proceeds support the educational programs we are so proud to offer our children. If you are new to the school or the event, here is the scoop!

What can I expect during the event?
We promise a night of fun. Enjoy hors-d'oeuvres, a live band, drinks, and socializing with all of your Alcuin friends. We will also have a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle, all to benefit Alcuin's incredible programs.
What are the 50/50 Raffle and Silent Auctions, and how do they work?
The Silent Auction
Want to partake in an exciting community auction? We'll have a variety of themed-baskets that Alcuin families have created for you, designer items, sports tickets, and dinner parties to bid on that night. Bid and win! All winning bidders will take their items home that night. Winning bids may be paid for by credit card, check, or cash.
The 50/50 Raffle
Tickets will be on sale before the night of the party. The more tickets you buy, the bigger the pot will become. The winner of the raffle that night is guaranteed half of the total pot.
What should I wear?
Wear what you would on a typical evening out. Some people come in cocktail attire, and others come in jeans -- whatever makes you happy and comfortable for a night on the town.
What is the online auction?
Get your virtual paddles ready for the online auction taking place April 17-26. The online auction is a fun eBay-style auction where you can bid on a myriad of items. The online auction begins ten days before the live event.
You're sure to find something fabulous for yourself or that unique gift for that someone special. There are art projects created by the children in each classroom, overnight stays, museum tickets, shopping parties, teacher outings with your child, and much more. Item previews will begin in March! And the best part? Members outside of the Alcuin community can also join in on the fun. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends can also bid on the online auction.
We are still looking for auction items big and small. If you have something you'd like to donate, click on our online donation form. The Annual Auction & Celebration depends on the generosity of our school community and beyond. If you know someone, or have access to airline tickets, hotel rooms, tickets to live events, restaurant and merchandise gift certificates, vacation homes, fine wines, jewelry, electronics, sporting equipment, autographed memorabilia, please email our Director of Advancement.
Any other questions? Contact us! Invitations will be sent out at the first week in April!
