YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS, WE'VE GOT ANSWERS
Why does SFA have an auction?
Just like other private schools, the tuition for each child does not cover the true cost of education. Along with other fundraisers and school campaigns, the auction helps to offset the operating budget for our school and your participation is essential. The auction is also our biggest party of the year, bringing together alumni, parishioners, friends and parents of children of all ages within the larger community – in support and celebration of St. Francis of Assisi School.
What happens with the proceeds from the auction?
All proceeds from the auction support the annual fundraising goal and go directly to the operating budget of St. Francis of Assisi School. The school uses the funds raised for operating expenses that make many of our programs possible. By supporting the auction, you are providing technology, supporting necessary teaching and staff positions, and contributing to school activities, such as specialized subjects, our S.T.E.M. lab, field trips, art literacy, and other events.
Why should I attend the auction?
It’s really fun, you can meet other parents and hang-out with SFA teachers and staff plus ALL the proceeds from the auction support SFA!
What auction games or raffles will be offered?

check back soon!Dessert Dash
The dessert dash involves each table combining their bids to claim one of the delicious desserts available at the event. The table with the largest bid gets first chance at dashing to the dessert table and picking the dessert of their choice! To get your chance at the most delectable, scrumptious dessert, simply complete the dessert dash card on your table! Be careful though… you’ll need bid high to be the first table called and be fast to get your favorite dessert because the next winning table number will be called quickly… thus, the DASH part of the Dessert Dash!Are my purchases tax-deductible?
Amounts paid over the listed value of a package are tax-deductible. Your auction receipt will itemize the price you paid and the value of each package you purchased. Keep this receipt for your tax records.
We really can’t afford to spend anything, but it sounds really fun. Is it ok for us to attend?
Absolutely! We’ve said it before, but our auction is the biggest party of the year and we encourage all parents to attend. To make our live auction exciting, we need to fill the room with lots of energetic supporters as well as participating bidders. Don’t miss this great party because you think it’s too fancy – this event is fun and you’ll be glad you came.
What is Fund A Need?
Each year, our School Board determines the most critical and immediate needs of the school. More to come soon on this years Fund-A-Need project.For more information and how to donate prior to the auction click here: Fund-A-Need

What if I don't know who to sit with?
